WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION? ... WHY? [1]
[2]"I can repeat the question, but am I bright enought to ask it?"
2002
The 5th Annual Edge Question is a meta-question that reflects the spirit of the EDGE motto: "To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves."
WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?...WHY?
I have asked Edge contributors for "hard-edge" questions, derived from empirical results or experience specific to their expertise, that render visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefine who and what we are. The goal is a series of interrogatives in which "thinking smart prevails over the anaesthesiology of wisdom."
Happy New Year!
