WEIRD IDEAS LAB – A National Call for Unconventional Thinking for Cognitive Security


The Weird Ideas Lab (WIL) is a strategic initiative of the Cognitive Warfare Agency (CWA) dedicated to identifying and nurturing unconventional ideas that can contribute to Bharat’s national security in the Cognitive Age. This concept paper serves as the foundational blueprint of the Weird Ideas Lab, outlining its philosophy, vision, and long-term direction for building a culture of strategic innovation beyond conventional thinking.

This is the first publication in an evolving series of concept papers. In the coming months, CWA will publish additional reports exploring new ideas, methodologies, case studies, and practical pathways to transform unconventional thinking into national capability. We invite researchers, innovators, students, professionals, and citizens from every field to join us in shaping the future of Bharat’s cognitive security ecosystem.
