I talked to Ben Reinhardt about new models for funding science and innovation. Ben's pieces on DARPA and his proposal for a private DARPA-like research funding organization are foundational pieces in the field and should be read by anyone who wants to understand them. We talked about:


The Big Man Theory of History
What makes good DARPA program managers?
Why you need to be less responsible to innovate
Does science have an introspection problem?
Will the US maintain its leading position in science

Highly recommended!
