We scan what’s happening in the world to bring you items that are interesting, amusing, or just plain important. Our purpose is to encourage you to think about them and learn from those thoughts; to ask your own questions, stimulate your curiosity, and make your own decisions about what is important and useful.

In a world of non-stop bombardment by the trivial, genuinely important or useful ideas easily get lost and overwhelmed. You maybe don’t have time to seek out what would interest you — if only you knew about it.

That’s where this site can help you, by offering a range of topics for reflection, together with our authors’ “take” on what they mean and why you should think about them too. You don’t have to agree with us, but we do want you to think about why you don’t. Then add your comment and join in the discussion.

We are starting with a small band of writers based in the Southwest of the USA, but will add more as the site expands.
