Did you know the new Edge.org question of 2009 is up? For those who don’t know, every year Edge asks all kinds of terribly smart people at the cutting edge of research in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, computing, and related fields a simple question designed to elicit surprising and thought provoking responses. The answers are generally between half and three pages in length and there are usually hundreds to browse through. My favourite previous question was What is your dangerous idea? but I have yet to be disappointed.
This year’s question is, What will change everything? Pop over to Edge and check it out!
(Note: I find their website very hard to navigate. This is probably just me being bad at internetting but in case you have the same sorts of difficulties I do, you can get around the responses by clicking through the tiny numbers at the top of the page. My link starts you at page 1.)
