Edge.org is one of my favorite sites. There’s always something worth reading. The provocative question for 2008 is: What have you changed your mind about?
It’s a deceptively simple question. The change that it charts is the intellectual history of our time. It’s difficult to see the hands of a clock move, Brockman’s site gives us the equivalent of super slo-mo. The minds of some of our most influential thinkers changed in some fundamental way in 2007. Many consequential threads will unravel based on these changes, including more fundamental change in 2008.
