John Gilmore	Entrepreneur	I asked him but immediately got distracted by the little LED lights he was giving out, so I don’t really remember which cheese he liked. I scored a UV LED light though. It's hella dope. Anyway: medium Cheddar, I think.
Jaron Lanier	Renaissance Motherfucker	Paraphrased, possibly misremembered reply: “During my undergrad years I ran a goat dairy and made cheese then, so the cheese I’d eat would be cheese I make myself and my cheese would be a form of abstract artistic expression and it would take on the shapes of everything in the universe.”
Benjamin Feen	Cheese Preference Researcher	Tillamook Sharp Cheddar

Conclusion: Mmm, cheese.
