The World Council for New Thinking launched
01/03/2007

The World Council for New Thinking has now been launched. Six Nobel Prize laureates have already joined. Please see the website www.worldcouncilfornewthinking.org for details. There are at least four mathematical reasons why new ideas are essential. At the same time representative bodies like democracies and the UN cannot easily put forward new ideas because there is a fundamental contradiction. Representative bodies are there to represent current thinking. A new idea is always different from current thinking. So putting forward a new idea is very high risk.

The purpose of the Council is to provide a platform or channel for making new ideas public and visible. These may then influence current thinking in many ways.
