Project Why
If you have recieved the dollar bill or one of the books, click here
Project Why was founded on May 8, 2006 by four teenagers with deep questions on their minds. The mission of Project Why is to gain a better understanding of human interaction and to bring together those who think philosophically about the world around them. The project seeks to shed some light on such perplexing questions as...
    - How did we get here?
    - Where are we going?
    - When is now?
    - What is progress?
    - What does life mean?
    - Was life meant to be?
As you may notice, this description never refers to "we." The intent of Project Why is to expand membership and participation well beyond the four founders. To join or inquire further, click here. To facilitate both expansion of the project and as an initial experiment about human interaction, the four founders have released two objects into circulation:
    First, this web address and a few intriguing questions were written on a dollar bill. The dollar bill was then used to purchase a used book. Again this web address and some questions central to the project were written on the inside cover of the book. The book was then given to the first person seen outside the bookstore, along with a brief explanation of the project. They were asked to take two books of special meaning to them, write the same information in the cover, and give the books to two people they meet or know, providing them with a brief explanation of the experiment. An alpha-numeric code is written on each object (on the dollar bill it is the serial number) to ensure that people cannot falsely report possession of one of the objects, which would undermine the integrity of the investigation. Project Why seeks to track the movement patterns and success of this interaction experiment. Even if you do not wish to join the project or ponder any of the project's questions, please take a minute to contact us if one of the objects falls into your possession.
