Really glad to see Aeon gaining traction. Their editorial voice runs counter to the dominant academic convention that separates liberal arts and humanities from the hard sciences and mathematics.
It's not about putting them together, so much as recognizing how artificial the distinction is in the first place. Both branches are fundamentally imaginative. To use a rough analogy, they're like the left and right sides of a single brain - neither of which is sufficient by itself.
If they've got one writer who stands out, it's Ross Anderson. Two of the best pieces they published were done by him. If you're familiar with the Clock of the Long Now and the larger effort to cultivate a sense of deep time, these are exceptionally worthwhile. Can't recommend them highly enough.
