On the Edge

The Edge Foundation, an outgrowth of a group known as The Reality Club, exists:

to promote inquiry into and discussion of intellectual, philisophical, artistic, and literary issues, as well as to work for the intellectual and social achievement of society.

Their website features The World Question Center. This year's question to the 'great minds' is "What is the Question...and Why?. Questions that Edge contributors ponder include:

  1. Do 'folk concepts' of the brain have anything to do with what really happens in the brain?
  2. Who and what are the we in we?
  3. Is it possible to know what is good and what is evil?
  4. Is the PC desktop really dead?
