Edge – the third culture is simply the website of Edge Foundation, Inc. and should be merged to the Foundation. --Pengyanan (talk) 07:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Business model[edit]

So what picture has emerged? From the numbers, I read Edge as this: 'a pretty well-run quasi-public social club for interesting people that has really nice dinners and which turns them into profitable books to pay for it all'.

...

I always thought Edge.org was basically Brockman's way of getting cheap publicity for the intellectuals his literary agency represents and the books they are currently selling.

Thanks for the interesting investigation, which largely confirms my suspicion.

Obviously, Edge.org is a platform to promote the intellectuals he represents, which is Brockman's real career. From my own experience, blurbs on these books stay mainly in the family. That doesn't lessen the amount of cutting-edge discussion on the site from various luminaries. It's really quite an usual affair. — MaxEnt 02:49, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jeffrey Epstein[edit]

How does a Wikipedia article about the Edge Foundation, Inc. somehow manage not to mention Jeffrey Epstein even once? - 2601:58B:4200:4B81:A98C:5EC4:2237:6DB7 (talk) 16:01, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this is an omission. He answered at least two Edge questions (2004, 2008). If that counts as being a contributor (edge.org lists such people as contributors but has removed Epstein from the lists) then he should at least be added in that section.
