Progress Now Action

Have a few spare hours you were hoping to fill with something almost divinely geeky? Check out Edge - The World Question Center. The Edge Foundation was established in 1988 and boasts some of the most interesting minds in the world. They seek to "promote inquiry into and discussion of intellectual, philosophical, artistic, and literary issues, as well as to work for the intellectual and social achievement of society." What you're going to find on the site are essays written by some amazingly brilliant and creative individuals, each in response to an annually posited question. There are some great questions; "What is today's most important unreported story?", "What questions have disappeared?", "What's your law?", and "What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?" are some of my favorites. This year's question, garnering 117 essays by some truly heady intellects, is "What is your dangerous idea?".

Oh yeah, baby. This is going to keep me stimulated for a while.
