Esse quam videri - to be rather than to seem.

What do you believe in but can't prove?

Every year, the Edge asks a provcative question and asks its members (some of the most 'interesting minds in the world') to answer. The membership boasts of novelists, scientists and other 'thinkers'. Many of the answers are unecessarilly (in my mind intentionally) obtuse and pompous, but quite a few are thought-provoking.

This year's question is: What do you believe is true even if you can't prove it?

Here are some of mine:

* A part of us goes on after we die.
* We are all connected somehow, but some connections we have are stronger than others.
* Fate exists, but its not what we think.
