So much relevant expertise in political science. This would be so much better as a team project that included them.https://twitter.com/GovernorTomWolf/status/962060492175900674 …

So I think you need to integrate very different kinds of expertise if you want to answer these questions. Though I can’t remember how/if you talk about these specific kinds of cognitive crossover in Reinventing Science …
I gave a few very examples - there are some particularly nice ones in Kasparov versus the World where amateurs contributed important ideas that the experts didn't think of.

Yes, I like that example a lot. I do disagree with the sharp division you draw between science and politics in that book (science seems more political to me, and politics at least a little more concerned with search for knowledge than you say, as best as I recall it).

I was trying to make a very specific point about the conditions under which knowledge can build. I'd be a bit more measured today, particularly understanding some of the problems around replication - many fields of science seem to barely deserve the term.
