I just saw this spectacular event ignited this coming Saturday in Berlin. 112 influential and (hopefully) wise persons will be seated around a round table in the Bebelplatz square to answer 100 questions carefully chosen from the pool of questions submitted by the public about the state of the world and visions for dealing with it.
