I'm not burning to have a conversation with any celebrity in person, but I'd probably pick some famous philosopher or scientist or something so that the conversation would at least be interesting.

    I agree. I think there is a reason we have the saying: Never meet your heroes.

    Anyone I pick would in my mind have been built up to some impossible to live up to standard that they could never meet, so picking someone passionate about something I like seems like the better move.

    Probably Linus Torvalds

    I just don't pay that much attention to celebrities, I don't give a shit about all the BS around being famous, I don't care about their opinions on literally anything, etc, so even if I had heroes they wouldn't be celebrities.
