This year “Edge” asked some of the sharpest tools in the box what they’ve changed their mind about. It’s interesting reading. Although I recommend that you peruse the essays for yourself, here’s a few of my favorites.
Sam Harris: Mother Nature is Not Our Friend.
Rupert Sheldrake: The Skepticism of Believers.
Paul Davies: I Used to be a Committed Platonist.
Rudy Rucker: Can Robots See God?
Martin Rees: We Should Take the ‘Posthuman’ Society Seriously.
Jesse Bering: I Have No Destiny (And Neither Do You.)
Scott Atran: The Religious Politics of Fictive Kinship.
Martin Selgiman: We Are Alone.
Robert C. Shank: AI?
And those are my favorites. I’m sure that you’ll find your own. I found this via Robots.net.
