- How did you become interested in analyzing the Great Stagnation?
- What is your basic explanation for The Great Stagnation?
- How does government funding of research promote stagnation?
- How does the “green” philosophy promote stagnation?

- What legal/regulatory reforms are necessary to decriminalize nuclear?
- What can we do to liberate human progress from its political and philosophical strangulation?
