There was a similar thread on LessWrong a couple of days ago (though not just on Big Problems but on existential risks): http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/ma

  Expanding my earlier response. I've got a few goals here, at varying levels of meta. One is to simply get inputs from people on what their perceptions (and rationales) for "big problems" are. I'll try to summarize those. One is to provide a reference check for my own views and models of the space. I've had a few suggestions which expand, or possibly challenge, the framework I've been using, though generally modestly. I'm curious as to the expressed and implied views of what makes for challenges, and the dynamics driving them. Again, I've been forming my own framework for this, though I'm trying to leave that out of this process to the extent I can. At a meta level, finding the most productive forum(s) in which I can ask questions and receive responses is another element. Though that itself suggests another Big Problem: Where can people intelligently discuss Big Problems.... To be further expanded at the subreddit mentioned previously.
