I guess you are all interested in self organizing systems
with emergent properties, agent based models, swarm intelligence
and complex adaptive systems in general.

What kind of topics, questions and unsolved problems
do you find most interesting? Here is a list of topics
I've adressed in the blog. Which of them do you find
most exciting?

- Sociology and Organizations (bureaucracy, hierarchies, etc)
- History (Civilizations, cultures, writing systems, etc)
- Biology (Biological principles of swarm intelligence, etc)
- Philosophy and Psychology (the Mind-Body Problem, subjectivity, 
consciousness, etc.)
- Engineering (Emergence and Engineering, AOSE, ESOA, etc.)
- Evolutionary Systems (Major evolutionary transitions, cancer, etc.)
- Defense, Combat, Security (tools, strategies, etc.)
- IT, distributed systems and algorithms
- AI, Singularity
