The University of Waterloo Cognitive Science program held Waterloo This-Idea-Must-Die Day on December 14, 2015. Several speakers examined concepts and theories that block progress in understanding the mind, brain and intelligence? A $100 prize was offered to a student who best identified two or more ideas that deserved to die together. The responses were terrific and resulted in a tie for the $100 prize.
