The writers behind this newsletter.
Learn from the world's biggest thinkers.
I explain ideas. I write for Big Think. I run the Mini Philosophy social network.
Executive editor at Big Think
Francesca Tighinean is a psychology educator with over 3 million followers, host of The Francesca Psychology Podcast, and an upcoming Hay House author.
Hypercurious :) Neuroscientist, founder of Ness Labs & author of Tiny Experiments, a guide to living a more experimental life.
Philosopher of mind and AI ethicist. I write about machine consciousness, human-AI relationships, video games, the Fermi paradox, fan-fiction, and whatever else catches my attention. Congenital AI optimist. Views my own.
I'm a working writer who is really bad at specializing in a single discipline. I care a lot about the craft of my sentences and getting the details right. I'm also a recreational rock climber, but I do it often enough that many assume it's my job.
