We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we’re faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging “big idea” that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We’re sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think’s contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think’s Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.

Ben Casnocha recently had a post that made me break out the thinking cap. I traveled through western europe for a long trip as part of a gap year. Due to Katrina I ended up cutting the trip short to go help and then for personal reasons I decided to end my gap year early and resume studies ...
I’ve enjoyed some European Travel, and I need to get some more places. After school (and probably grad school) I plan on moving out of the USA at least for a few years. I won’t be a stranger back here (California and Colorado) because with family and a little neice I’ll have to visit frequently ...
Go Check out FairVote. I’m all for this change to direct election, it will encourage people to get out and vote. Here’s an excerpt from their webpage. That’s not the worst of it, though. After all, some people might count it a blessing to be spared the October onslaught of thirty-second spots ...
Watch The Daily Show’s Short on Myspace.Just hilarious… As a recovering myspace adict, I actually think Myspace has been brought to us by the devil and no longer use it, but when the man’s right on emo rock, he’s right on emo rock. good for a larf.
One of my favorite videos ever.Jon Stewart makes an awesome speech on Crossfire completely dismantling Tucker Carlson. Begala gets a little as well but Tucker really gets it. I recently replied to a post re: Bowties and remembered Tucker Carlson and remembered this video. Most assuredly worth a ...
I’m vastly aware no-one/very few people read this… hence it is going to become way for me to organize and publish my thoughts, and work on communicating and recomending in a public forum. However, I’m hoping to encourage readership in Spring and have something meaningful by summer. Here’s what ...
I think a lot at the gym, it’s my refuge to go over the meaning of feelings in my human experience, and dissect my day. I’m tempted to get all Vonnegut one of these days and write a story about the absurdness of it all and how my human experience was so confusing compared to my Tralfamadorian ...
I’ve been quoted in the cover story of this week’s Gambit. Here are the excerpts. “One of the few non-architects in the room, Tyler Willis, 19, was surfing in Portugal when Katrina struck. Thoughts about how he could help would not leave his head, Willis recalls, and he was prompted to action ...
OkayI have yet to find a good RSS reader for windows that I like. They all seem to range for eh to horrible. If you have found a good one, let me know. I’m likely to drive myself nuts until I finally get a mac. This is my problem so I will get on with the show. Here’s a short recomendation about ...
A friend recently turned me onto a remix of Jay-Z’s Black Album and The Beatles White Album (Thanks Justin). I’ve heard a lot about this album, I think I remember Lawrence Lessig using it as an example in his IT conversation about Remix, which is very good. The Grey Album was surprising. I really ...
I recently saw the new trailer for The Shield, which is a TV show on FX that I really enjoy. It includes a bunch of clips set to Johnny Cash’s version of hurt. This song is amazing anyway you see it, but seeing this powerful visual medium use the song reminded me of a SPIN article I read recently. ...
PNO has really begun to take off and in a long letter written to some of my friends and family recently I explained all my motivations and efforts in significant detail. The replies have started to come in. I’ve noticed a few trends in those replies I’ve gotten so far. One is that they are positive ...
Well I woke up this morning (ok really late in the morning) and flipped on the TV. Quite the hubbub was going on re: the speech that called for “immediate redeployment of troops in Iraq.” I bit; I hung around for 15 minutes until John Murtha (D-Penn) came on and delivered a mediocre speech calling ...
So my RSS aggregator is chock full off 2 weeks of mobiledia news about all the latest and greatest wireless handsets. After reading the Q3 numbers it got me to thinking how the 4 major companies (accounting for 78% market share between them) would compete with each other in Q4 and 2006. So I’m ...
I really can’t do this one justice, you’re going to have to visit the link on this one. According to mobiledia, PromoTel (one of the main companies behind ring-back tones) is pushing to replace all ring-back tones (the ring ring ring you hear when waiting to connect) with targeted advertisements ...
