The piece below, just been published by NZZ, the #1 Swiss national newspaper, is now the lede on Edge: bit.ly/2sk5HvB. NZZ's Feuilleton is default reading for German-speaking intellectuals throughout the world.....

"It makes for a kind of slugfest between scientists, an entertaining spectacle, full of flashes of genius."

WHERE AVANT-GARDE THINKING REFLECTS THE PRESENT By Tobias Sedlmaier

THE ONLINE PLATFORM "EDGE" HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR THE BIG QUESTIONS FOR TWENTY YEARS — AND FOR THE EVEN BIGGER ANSWERS OF LIFE. A CRITICAL APPRAISAL.

Translation: bit.ly/2sk5HvB

Deep thanks all the Edgies!! The piece is a celebration of the 500 or 00 active members of the Edge community. I just turn the lights on and off at the back of the theatre.

Happy July 4th.
