I know some of you are already familiar with this web site, but Jack just reminded me about it and I thought I would pass the reminder along.

The Edge ( http://www.edge.org ) is a moderated set of discussions about "science and meaning" related topics.

This quote about the so-called "third culture" is particularly relevant:

> "The third culture consists of 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. "

Check it out and see if it triggers any ideas for discussion.
