What about Topos?

This post is simply a condensed version of an interview that Brendan gave to Eric Gilliam . I wanted to reproduce it here as I want to think about what my answers would be. (the full text of the interview is found in the link above) What is Topos from a very high level? Topos is a new structure for doing research for the public benefit. In pursuit of this goal, we combine a focus on fundamental, long-term research similar to a university with a theory of dynamic change similar to a tech startup.
