ideas 2006.

The shakiness of my connection and journey time are increasing in tandem: reading the newspaper is back in. The Guardian had an interesting article in it the other day: Emergence, diaspora, the 'imperial consumer': which ideas will shape the coming year?

My highlights:
Daniel Kahneman wanting to minimise misery.

Turing's Cathedral.

Susan Greenfield's reconfiguration of modern education.

And Roger Scruton says: 'I look forward to a radical decline in the influence of the nihilists - among whom I count Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault.' This prompted a giggle.
