BIL is...

an open, self-organizing, emergent, and anarchic science and technology conference.

Nobody is in charge.

If you want to come, just show up.

If you have an idea to spread, start talking.

If someone is saying something interesting, stop and listen.

How to Be a Successful Heretic

In my 12 minutes I will give a light-hearted - but unerringly accurate - string of nuggets of advice, drawn mostly from my own experience of recent years, on how to shepherd a diabolically dangerous idea from conception to world domination (yes, the last part will be drawn from others’ experience!) as quickly as possible in the teeth of determined and powerful vested interests. My comments will apply not only to science but to heresies in general.
