Question

What's the big idea?

Comments

[Tom]

Has anybody found the plot?

[Roddy]

There's a plot?! When did that happen?

[Sandra]

there always was one - only we didn't realise until we lost it ......

[robert]

whose lost the question thats the problem.

[Tom]

Sandra,
Did you mean that?
Buried not so deep in that answer could be the answer to the original question!

There always was ONE

Only we didn't realise it.... until we lost "it"

Think about "it"!

[Roddy]

It's not a very big plot. Is the question the plot?

[sandra]

don't think so; is it not the plot, the plot being the big idea and the question the thing that started us looking for it ?

..... and surely size doesn't matter ? ;)

[Roddy Hamilton]

Maybe, in a Descarts moment, the question is indeed the plot as that is all there is. It started the search, it defines the search, it is the search. Maybe there is nothing else other than the question...

[Tom "the convinced"]

It is the plot that is the question, not the question that is the plot!
I have always maintained that the parameters are not the be all and end all, as suggested by Sandra ;-)... and that the plot will grow to suit the occasion.
However, (all great speeches should have a "however"), as the idea grows, presumably to become a "big idea", then surely (don't call me Shirley!) the number of questions grows exponentially.
For example, how many apples are in a barrel of oranges? Answer - None! Because a banana is that shape.
Or, as the janitor replied when asked if my class, 2B, would eventually win, when neck and neck with our great rivals 2C in a tiddlie winks competition at Clydebank High, ...

2B - that is the answer!

Now where IS that plot?

"Boinnnnng" - said Zebedee!

[Tom "the convinced"]

What happened?

Where am I?

[robert ;The confused;]

i am really confused can anybody find the plot.

[Sandra]

maybe the plot has been found at tonight's edition of Saving Jesus - it's called "Wisdom Tradition";

[NOAH]

There are plots at Agamemnon Street in Dalmuir...but they are usually flooded!!!

[Guy Fawkes]

Got a light mate?

What's the score?

[Albert Einstein.]

20

[Mary Whitehouse.]

That's gross!

[Albert Einstein.]

No my dear, that would be 144.

[Moses]

I was promised a plot too!!!

[Sandra]

you got one on Mount Nebo !

and I think I have the answer to the original question - it was staring us in the face all the time ! not IT but WHAT ! (WHAT's the big idea)

[NOAH]

Moses - If you encounter any water on the way to your promised plot give me a shout and I'll pick you up in the boat!

[Moses]

NOAH?
More like "no way"
You charge too much!

I'll make my own arrangements!!!

This started out as some philosophical inquiry and it's amazing who you pick up on the way: Noah, Einstein, Moses etc. That got me thinking: if the questions is "what's the big idea" what would all these different character reply to that? Trying to keep this stream semi-serious (no philosophocal enquiy is completely serious, think of Descates thinking and Plato and the cave etc) it's all about context and experience so what would they say...

[Sandra]

now surely that all depends on whether the question is intended as a parable ?
