Open Source Meaning of Life

Eric Olsen tells us about his project to discover the meaning of life in a post-9/11 world. This is being done in conjunction with a book called “America.com: On September 11” by Eric and Marty Thau. They’re going to use “computer communications as an organizing principle.” Eric says to participate in the meaning-of-life project:

1) jot down the meaning of life.
2) answer the following for demographic purposes:

a) gender
b) age
c) zip code or country
d) name (if you choose)

COPY 1 AND 2 ABOVE AND RETURN VIA EMAIL TO [email protected]

Eric assures us that all information will be kept completely private. The results will be compiled at a weblog that goes live on Feb. 12. The results may themselves be compiled into a book. Of course, if the book is successful and we learn from it, then they’ll have to write another book about meaning in a post Feb. 12th world.

Note: If “Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf” gets voted as the meaning of life, the entire species will have to have a time-out.
