Even fewer will make the choice that I made to dedicate my life to asking big philosophicalquestions or understanding the way arbitrary intellectual constructs are reinforced by technologies and cultural trends.
It asks all the big philosophicalquestions - about life and death and the uncertain purpose of what goes on in between - but in a way that isn't limited to a particular place or era.
Perhaps the more important question, which like all questions most worth answering is at its heart a philosophical one, is at what point in time Blackstone (or Apollo or KKR) ceases to be a private equity firm at its heart, and becomes some other form financial or investment enterprise.
