It’s time for our third installment of Ask Brian Anything! Between now and the end of the week (midnight this Saturday, September 14), leave me a question in the comments. At the end of the week, I’ll round up all the questions, and once I’ve had a little time to ponder, I’ll post the answers.
No question is too personal, too bizarre, or too mundane. I will answer every single question I get. (Limit one per customer! But if you’ve asked a question in previous rounds, you’re welcome to ask again this round.)
You can browse previous questions and answers here. Previous questions have ranged from “Are we living in a computer simulation?” to “Where do you see the United States in twenty years?” to “How did you meet your wife?”
Ask away!

If you knew the government would remain benevolent for the remainder of human existence, and have perfect data security, would you object to them surveilling citizens?
Excellent question, Dave! 🙂 Thanks for getting the ball rolling.
“Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite… would you like a toasted teacake?”
Just kidding, trying to give you more reasons to watch Red Dwarf. Here’s a real question:
“What single bit of writing advice would you give to yourself ten years ago?”
I was hoping you’d give me something good to chew on. Great question.
And I mean if you HAVE any teacakes that you’re just going to toss out ANYWAY…
What single moral principle do you believe in above all other morals you follow and why?
GREAT question. 🙂 I have an answer, but it’s cloudy yet. I’ll think it over and bring out some clarity.
Is 2+2=4 a truth you are willing to die for?
What a provocative question! Thank you.
Hope I’m not too late.. If you could make a 30 second speech to the whole world (everyone actually listening) what would you say?
I’ll add your question to the list. Thanks Shaila! 🙂
