      My current favorite list is the 186 things ideonomy can do. As a young aspiring scientist, with nary a hint of irony, Gunkel sought to pitch ideonomy as the "use of same to describe, generate, investigate, or otherwise treat all possible ideas related to any subject, problem, thing, or other idea."

      As human and artificial intelligence supplant gene-based evolution the next and perhaps final stage in this progression may be ideonomy, the science of ideas, which can proceed at the much faster speed of thought.
