so what have _you_ changed your mind about recently?

Quite the list of intellectual luminaries, each (for the most part) talking about a change in opinion. Reading the whole thing would take (even) me quite a lot of time which I don't have right now. But there's some good stuff in there. Kind of like a series of conversations in a high-octane cocktail party, really.

Party

God, I love that kind of high-octane cocktail party. I wander off on my usual jag about the singularity ... but I find a connection with someone who goes to Burma to do medical mission work ... and then we team up to explain the oil crash to some third person.
