The unconscious lazymind
What I need is a Lazyweb style site where I can post my open questions about life the universe and everything and hope that knowledgeable people will stumble upon them.

I've been kind of directing my blog towards this purpose, though I don't always ask questions as such; it seems the most useful purpose I can come up with, offering questions out to the world for thinking about.
Only asking questions, though, would seem off-balance; offset your questions about the world with answers to unasked questions, though, and perhaps you'll show someone a question they never thought to ask.
Think of it as being a single node in a subconscious hivemind: questions and answers offered at random, with no visible correlation to what the rest of the mind is thinking — and yet somehow it all ties together, as we wander the web of unassociated thoughts and create ties between them.
You become they typical 42 from Hitchiker's Guide.
There seems to be a Zen saying aking to that: the master would appear when the pupil is ready - your answers and questions will be understood then at their proper time.
