Supersize Lyrics
You know the Matthew Good song "21st Century Living"...
I just noticed what the first few lines say:
You know, today I was asked only one question
One question all day
Do you know what that was?
"Do you want this supersized?"
This is a very cool start to the song, in particular in combination
with what the Director Engineers Without Borders said about having
more mature participants.
"Unfortunately someone who has worked 10 years in a field has 10 years
of answers, and not 10 years of questions. We need people who are
willing to ask questions, and to question their life. And it only
gets worse as people work more."
I am paraphrasing and making it less diplomatic than he did. I
usually do make things less diplomatic.
But, the concept of asking questions is a good one and I am pleased to
find its (lack) in the start of this song.
We don't really *know* that much. (...anything...)
