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: Did you ever experience imposter syndrome? - ​As automation and worker reduction at the workplace continues to gather steam, would it make sense to legally reduce further the max hours worked per week to avoid mass unemployment? - ​You ultimately named your company with your last name. Why? I have mixed feelings about this - What are your thoughts on science and efficiency? Do you believe that high profiled science experiments could be done more efficiently in order to achieve a particular discovery? Is there room for imagination and creativity in (unconventional methods) in the scientific field? - How can people in school and in general have more stronger self-organization to be able to stand up to the institutionalized networks with unfortunate entry conditions? - How much of your work in your business is "exploration of opportunity" vs "management". Do you have a set ratio, or rules of thumb to regulate between the two? - Hello Stephen and everyone! One issue keeping back from innovating traditional big industries R&D is said to be the difficulty to adopt new paradigm shifts. What is your view on this? - Wolfram only makes profit out of sales of the program or does it have other sources of income? - Did you ever get takeover proposals from google, Facebook, Microsoft or others. Will you exit one day? - What other companies/groups out there we're doing consistent good independent work using a similar model to Wolfram? Any standouts? - Do Wolfram employees get motivated when they see the result of people using the Wolfram technologies? - ​Will you go beyond being an Oracle system for crypto currencies such as Cardano/Ada etc? Or will you eventually leverage your computable data to create your own cryptocurrency??
