Read this conversation between an economist and a stand-up comedian...

"I hope you don’t mind me writing to you because I wanted to learn more about the art of doing stand-up. You see, I work as an economist by day and I am as bland and dreary and monotonous as the stereotypes go. This makes me especially curious about your profession and what goes on behind the scenes. What makes you so good at what you do? Can you share a tiny bit about your craft and process with boring folks like myself?"

Science writer Ananyo Bhattacharya responds to a letter addressed to him. He writes...

"Thank you for taking the time to write such a thought-provoking letter, and of course for the compliments. It is heartening to see ‘The Man from the Future’ getting into the right hands (or ears).
I will do my best to address your questions but I must begin by saying that, despite living with Johnny in my head for several years, my brain cannot fathom what it must be like to be a genius of his calibre either. We can both comfort ourselves with the knowledge that of the incredible constellation of brilliant minds that von Neumann interacted with over the years, from his old friends Eugene Wigner and Edward Teller to his colleagues at the Institute for Advanced Study, Kurt Gödel and Albert Einstein, none came close to understanding the quickness of his mind, nor matching the sheer breadth of his contributions.
Arguably, no scientist or mathematician before von Neumann ranged as successfully as he did across so many disparate fields and I doubt now that any ever will, for the reasons you allude to in your letter—science has exploded into myriad specialisms that even a mathematical genius of his stature would struggle to master, let alone advance."

Dear Internet,

Our culture around the world is immensely varied with a myriad of arts, traditions, and literature. But possibly the most defining of these for each of our societies is music. The various ways we generate what would ordinarily be noise pollution is nectar for us - depending on our tastes.

Dear George Mumford,
.. I initially thought about writing this letter to you in an email. But I realized that this is a common challenge for many friends and families around the world—hence my writing to you on a public platform. I know you are busy, but on the off-chance that you do reply, the insights you share will be helpful to myself and others.....

Dear Rachel Elnaugh,

I am writing this letter not to condemn you but simply to ask if you would be willing to offer greater public transparency over your specific intended uses of the land you have acquired, given its ecological sensitivity and its value to so many people. If you feel the anger and fear generated in response are misplaced, perhaps it would be useful to alleviate those concerns by outlining precisely what you intend for the land and offering assurances that you will only act with the correct planning permission and that you will not seek to restrict public rights to access land.

Dear Michael Kasumovic,

Why are video games so violent? Can’t gamers walk into some faraway virtual world in peace without having to worry about their health bars and the Darwinian struggle for virtual existence?

Dear Alexandra Stein,

In light of recent political developments, I was looking for books and papers to better understand the nature of human organization and social structure. I found your research on cults especially illuminating. So thank you for writing Love, Terror, and Brainwashing...
..I hope you might build upon the recommendations in your statement someday. Most of us, regardless of political leanings, will agree with you and others on the problem and broad objectives. But what we are lacking in are solutions that are specific, cost-effective, apolitical, and scalable. Please, if you have the time, do share your thoughts with us.

Thank you.

"Dear Internet,

A few weeks ago, I wrote a short letter about the “gelatinous ignorance” of Kyrie Irving and other conspiracists in response to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s newsletter. Since then, Irving has gone on to spread even more racism, disinformation, and conspiracy. I originally believed that things might improve if somebody in his inner circle could speak to him and educate him. Well that may have been naive of me."

"Dear Internet,

Now, I know full well that there are bigger problems in the world. But why does the customer service of big corporations have to be so darn poor? Why do these people behave so inhumanly? I refuse to believe that the bulk of their employees are bad people. Yet somehow, when large groups of people get together, everything falls by the wayside...

If you have any grievances with similarly large corporations, please share your story here. I am more than happy to lend my ear. "

Follow the conversation between a Collate member and author Fenton Johnson. In it, our member writes: "With regards to Collate: I was actually unsure if you would have the time to reply to me. But I did not want the questions I posed to you or myself to fade away in an email inbox. This way, I and others who stumble by can refer back to your letter over and over again as and when we need. So thank you! : )"
