Robert Wright's "Meaning of Life TV"
Did you know that Robert Wright (TED2006), author of The Moral Animal and Nonzero, hosts an interview program called Meaning of Life TV on Slate? Me neither. But I wasn't surprised to see the guest list filled with TED favorites (Dan Dennett, Freeman Dyson, Edward Wilson...), exploring the territory where physics meets philosophy: Do indidividual atoms make choices? Does the mystery of consciousness suggest some higher purpose to the universe? Note: Wright also asks Steven Pinker the burning question. Maybe Malcolm Gladwell's next?
