Could we be more than what we are?

1. 60 minutes +: Howard Hughes Medical Institute sponors scientists to do research and give them grants and long term support if scientists have simple but big ideas e.g. how people balance (physically). The Institute allows people to explore as long as there are evidences supporting the hypothesis. They are not evaluating research by outputs but by the significance of the questions.

2. Berlin has many historical buildings that have been kept because the wealthy people are willing to use their money to keep the historical buildings and even give money to support art. So for the past 10 years, Berlin is becoming the centre of modern art. Artists there are imagniative. I saw on TV that the artists used stockings to make beautiful modern art pieces (quite zen in fact). Unbelievable!
