FAQ Enter The Think Tank Contact Tour the Project

"A think tank is an organization that claims to serve as a center for research and/or analysis of important public issues. In reality, many think tanks are little more than public relations fronts."  - Dysinfopedia

The Wisdom Project is working to fulfill the true promise of the think tank concept by using an open source model.   Anyone, including you, has the power to shape the final published results.  You have the power to open any problem up for discussion and to develop solutions to any problem.  Your judgment determines which solutions are best and which contributors receive recognition.  At the Wisdom Project, your wisdom and knowledge is empowered to help change the world. 

Our purpose is to foster wisdom and develop solutions to our most urgent problems.  Whether or not that goal is accomplished is entirely up to you.  Let's put our minds together to build a better future.
