Intellectual Roundtable: a blog for discussion among ppl who might not normally connect. Despite differences, we should learn from each other. Our tool, a question, represents not just that something is unknown but also a willingness to find out.
One of my favorite questions on #IntellectualRoundtable is "What's your favorite synonym for #nonsense?" Not only were the responses fun, but it may also have been the most commented on #question.
