HA!
Junior Varsity ... mental masturbation.
But certainly the right "broth" for a decent soup.
The topics arc too broad and you end up with just discussion and people who have already said everything they know in their most recent book or lecture.
I think you need to take a Manhattan Project approach and ask a specific question.
that's 2, but ok.
do you know what the big driver for smart people is?
FAME. it's sort of money (and sort ofbeing seen with a supenuodel), but more than anything smart people just want everyone to know they arc smart.
the x-prizc thing doesn't work.
if you play on human narcissism you will find the answers to your questions.
i suggest that rather than have a conference you should fund a DISCOVERY CHANNEL documentary.
get a scrappy young filmmaker/documentary maker to promise weirdos a shot on TV to tell their story. they will come out of the woodworks. conferences are unproductive and stupid and when there are tons of egos around you can't really learn what you need to learn.
decide that you want to fund a one hour documentary on "evolutionary code dynamics". all of the classics will show up and want to be in it and of course you interview them. then you show the documentary and get your point across. you also publicize the issue.
