Edge | "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."
Stuart Brand, Jared Lanier, Brian Eno, Howard Rheingold, Kevin Kelly, ...the list of contributors reads like an alumni meeting from the old Whole Earth Review | In coming together as Edge the group postulates that a "third culture" exists, incorporating "...those scientists and other thinkers in the empirical world who, through their work and expository writing, are taking the place of the traditional intellectual in rendering visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefining who and what we are".
Intellectual free thinkers are a truly rarified breed | Such a group needs protection, nurture and encouragement beyond the scope of their own enclaves |
What initially brough me to their site was a piece by Stuart Brand on the development of a 10,000 year clock | Deep Time ~ something I'd read about some years ago the outgrowth of what to do when storing nuclear waste so as to caution others about the locale |
Such represents the breadth and scope of thinking we must embark upon to sustain the progress of knowledge in the future | Glad to have found the site |
Speaking of Time, another site worth visiting The Long Now
