Coming to you compliments of Rev. L.G. King who picked it up and put it in his pocket. It sure sounds like a treasury of learning. There is so much of interest in it if we ever take the time. Thanks LGK.

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.
Among the leading 65 public intellectuals on Prospect's long-list are a number of Edgies. Indeed, four out of the top twelve — Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker, Daniel Kahneman, Jared Diamond — are among the long-time core contributors who have helped establish Edge, in the words of the Guardian, as "the world's smartest website".

I just watched the first video titled Deep Pragmatism. ( I had to look up "pragmatism"...)
IMHO It was presented very simply and eloquently . The speaker doesn't give us answers . He tosses ideas around, provokes thought, and leaves us asking questions of ourselves. I quite enjoyed it. I hope other people will too.
