- Why once a measure becomes a metric, it ceases to be an effective measure.

- Whether it’s possible to build a social system without coercion.

- The distinction between complex and complicated systems.

- Markets, and how they impact communities.

- Her “motivational Turing test.”

- What she would like to see changed about how education is structured.

- How we can be more positive-sum as a society.

- Why a group is not a group without an external threat.
