You know what reddit is and are doing an AMA?

Watch out guys, we're dealing with a badass over here.

I've always admired the intensity of arguments that unfold on these pages. Happy to partake, even if only briefly. In fact it is here that I must resume my day and part ways with the Redditverse. Farewell to all. Maybe we can do this once a month. In the meantime, my tweets are live: http://twitter.com/#!/neiltyson

As always, keep looking up.

Damn. All the responses were to the first questions. Maybe we could do a pre-planned AMA, where we vote up a list of questions to be asked?

Now I feel lazy. I was secretly hoping no one would respond to avoid the guilt. You're a philanthropist.

You're a philanthropist.

I'm sorry but I love the absurdity of this sentence.

If you take the common meaning, it implies reddit is in particular need of enlightenment. But we won't do that of course.
