Possibilianism at PopTech

Possibilianism at PopTech

In October 2010, I spoke at PopTech in Camden, Maine on the limits of science, the problems of false dichotomies, and my new movement of possibilianism:

David Eagleman on Possibilianism from PopTech.

 I was blown away when Andrew Zolli, the director of PopTech, tweeted that this was "one of the best talks ever at PopTech"!

Why should the US invest in brain science? See David's opinion in the New York Times.

How the Internet will save civilization

David's iPad app "Why the Net Matters, or Six Ways to Avert the Collapse of Civilization" was recently called a "superbook" by the New York Times Magazine. For a taste of the argument, read David's article in WIRED or watch a video of his talk at the Long Now Foundation. Don't have an iPad? The manuscript is now available as an eBook.
