The Edge Question 2011

At his website, Edge, John Brockman asks a big question each year and fields responses from scientists and writers (and scientist-writers).

This year’s question is “What scientific concept would improve everyone’s toolkit?”

My answer is, “Life as a side effect.”

As of this writing, Brockman has 155 other answers, too, so peruse and muse to your heart’s delight.
