“The scope of human ideas is infinite, some might say. But one researcher says he can count them, and he intends to do just that.
Darryl Macer, associate professor at the Institute of Biological Sciences at the University of Tsukuba in Japan, plans to create a human mental map — a database that would contain a log of every human idea.
…Macer believes that creating a database of the ideas that form the basis of these beliefs will help international policy-makers understand the complex mix of viewpoints at hand. And ultimately that could help them develop global policies that take into consideration cross-cultural differences.”
