Beside Edge with "What have you changed your mind about? Why?" and YouTube with the Davos Question, TED and the TEDBlog are also asking "The Big Questions"
Many people come to TED -- and visit TED.com -- seeking something out of the ordinary. A chance to mentally recharge. A chance to step back and consider the really big stuff that's happening. A chance to understand life in a richer way.
- Who are we?
- What is our place in the universe?
- What is life?
- Is beauty truth?
- Will evil prevail?
- How can we change the world?
- How do we create?
- What's out there?
- What will tomorrow bring?
- What stirs us?
- How dare we be optimistic?
- And the point?
- How dare we be optimistic?

- How can we change the world?
- Will evil prevail?
- Is beauty truth?
- What is life?
- What is our place in the universe?
