Big Think

Experts are a bit chastised these days, particularly those in the economics profession. However, who does not want to learn what experts have to say about any subject every now and then? It does not matter whether you want so score points at a cocktail party, impress your boss or simply suffer from a persistent need for knowledge, it is good to have expert advice. Even better, it is great to have free expert advice.  Although I am not an expert on expert advice, I can appreciate sheer magnitude. And loads of expert advice is what Big Think delivers. With justified confidence Big Think pledges to put us, “in contact with the ideas of very smart people.” Big Think has conducted more than 1,000 interviews with experts who have their say on sixteen categories, ranging from “Politics and Policy” to “Love, Sex, and Happiness.” On average, Bit Think’s expert interviews last five minutes, a big plus if you are not ready to put up with lengthy lectures by stuffy intellectuals.
