Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about business, innovation, and managing life as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qa

Questions include: Does Stephen play any musical instrumentals? Would you consider songs formal systems? I've been imagining a multi-way graph for all of the chords on a guitar. - How do you think the behavior of innovation changes with scale? That is, what's the difference in innovation between startups, small businesses, and enterprises? - Do you have electronic-off day/time-window (no electronic communication and no computers etc)? - How do you deal with back pain or eye strain from reading too much? - If you started your business again, what would you avoid or do differently? - As we are eliminating jobs at light speed, how do you think society will cope with mass unemployment after we can automate majority of trade related jobs? - How did you manage the sales side when you started that first company? - If you were to go back in time, would you be able to get the world to 2020 tech within 20 years? - But what happens in the future when we have AIs that can simulate realities that are indistinguishable from reality? What if you can simulate people doing jobs? - Does Stephen Wolfram think that people should specialize in education earlier, instead of taking general classes in high school, focus on one field, get to undergrad level of education earlier? - Didn't Feynman study Mayan Hieroglyphs? - Can an old dog learn new tricks? (i.e. can a middle aged person learn math, programing, and be successful anywhere near someone that started when they were young.) - What innovations, if any, do you think may be most useful for K-12 public education in the US?
