WHAT HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT? WHY? This is full of good ideas. Smart people change their ideas based on evidence. This shows how the knowledge developed by science has lead to new positions by rational people. Fascinating because of the new knowledge, the thought processes and the (mostly) good writing.

- The Edge asked 165 contributors from the science/tech/internet industries what they've changed their mind about and why. The responses are quite interesting.

- This annual release of many pages of commentary from some of the world's leading thinkers is always worthwhile. The only problem is allocating the time it warrants.

- WHAT HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT? WHY? in a special issue of Edge,
Science is based on evidence. What happens when the data change? How have scientific findings or arguments changed your mind?" WHAT HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT? WHY? Some of my preferred: The Nature of Human Nature by MICHAEL SHERMER I now realize that science is strictly limited by COLIN TUDGE The Fallacy of Hypothesis Testing by IRENE PEPPERBERG How I Became An Evolutionary Psychologist by DAN SPERBER There are No Moral Facts by THOMAS METZINGER Our mathematics is just that: our mathematics, not the universe's. by KEITH DEVLIN What created the structure of the universe? by PAUL STEINHARDT Computation as the Ultimate Metaphor by RODNEY A. BROOKS The World in the Brain by STEPHEN M. KOSSLYN Attitudes Trump Facts by JOHN MCCARTHY The Impressionable Brain by MARCEL KINSBOURNE, The new power of the collective by KEVIN KELLY Have Humans Stopped Evolving? by STEVEN PINKER The Convergence of Belief Change by JOHN ALLEN PAULOS The eradication of irrational thinking is (not) inevitable by MARCO IACOBONI The Mechanical Worldview by BRIAN GOODWIN The Science Formerly Known as Religion by FRANK WILCZEK Reassessing Relatedness by SEIRIAN SUMNER We Should Take the 'Posthuman' Era Seriously by MARTIN REES Science as faith by ROGER HIGHFIELD I detect a trend along those articles: 1. A reassessment of science as being our science, not the universe's. 2. A reassessment of humanity (or any specie) as the permanently changing process of the relatedness of individuals within their societies.

- From the page: "The Edge Annual Question â€" 2008 When thinking changes your mind, that's philosophy. When God changes your mind, that's faith. When facts change your mind, that's science. WHAT HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT? WHY? Science is based on evidence. What happens when the data change? How have scientific findings or arguments changed your mind?""
