I don't have as low an opinion of Edge in general as Dave Pollard does, and I found the site's annual Q&A intriguing as always: this year, John Brockman asked his assembled literati, digerati and cognoscenti to answer the question, "What is Your Dangerous Idea?" I enjoyed skimming the answers, but also enjoyed Pollard's rejoinder of his own list. Two of my favorites from the latter:
| | The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred [George Bernard Shaw]. If you really think that anybody really understands what another person has said, do an experiment after the next presentation you attend and ask attendees one-on-one immediately afterwards what they got out of it. You'll be astonished.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality [Bucky Fuller]. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. |
Read the whole thing.
