Apropos my comment here, what do you guys think of making The Simple Math of Everything a reality?

The LW community probably has a diverse enough group of scholars to cover most of the major fields, and if not, we all have contacts. Splitting it up into sections for different individuals to write would make the project much easier to complete, provided someone is coordinating everything. What do you guys think?

Write a call for top-level-post essays as a top-level post, stating clearly what kind of articles you see in such a collection, and see if enough accumulates for an edited volume (I think it's unrealistic at this point).
