Every year, Edge.org asks a question of a bunch of interesting folks and gets what you would expect: very interesting answers. This time around, Steven Pinker’s suggested question was “What is your dangerous idea?”
Among the respondents are: Craig Venter, Richard Dawkins, Michael Nesmith, Rupert Sheldrake, Freeman Dyson, and Ray Kurzweil. Read this question for this year and go back and read the previous ones. Lots to digest and make your head hurt and all of it awesome.
The headsup came from Boing Boing.
David Buss’ answer, the Evolution of Evil, is quite interesting.
