The Diversity of Ideas

What happens when people who think differently actually meet?
This is an interdisciplinary community for exploring ideas across boundaries: science, technology, philosophy, culture, the arts, education, society and beyond.
At the center is epistemic diversity: the diversity of ideas, perspectives, methods, disciplines and ways of understanding the world.
This feels particularly relevant today. We can produce and share information at unprecedented scales, while global platforms, algorithms and generative AI may also expose us to increasingly similar sources and ways of thinking.
The group is a place to do the opposite: bring different people and ideas into contact.
Expect informal discussions, interdisciplinary talks, debates, experiments and workshops. Scientists, artists, technologists, philosophers, educators, entrepreneurs, students and curious people from any background are welcome.
If something larger grows out of these conversations—a project, research collaboration, initiative or organization—even better.What happens when people who think differently actually meet?
