Some years back, I believe you said that working on FAI was too important to leave time for a girlfriend. How has that worked out? Have you found that romantic entanglements detract from your work, or enhance it?

"I ran out of ability to not have a girlfriend" would be the real answer. Some labor complementarity, some time costs, doesn't matter much from my perspective because I ran out of ability not to have a girlfriend. I don't regret the dedicated labor I put in up until that point, back when being alone didn't seem like much of a problem.
