“Four disciplines. Four extraordinary minds. Two days. One relentless pursuit of truth.“
(hexbear.net)
Inspired by the intellectual tradition of ancient Greek symposia, this two-day event brings together prominent thinkers, academics, and members of the public for meaningful discussions about some of humanity’s most important questions.
The symposium will feature four major sections, each led by a distinguished speaker:
Philosophy: Stephen Hicks
Science: Steven Pinker
Religion: Justin Sledge (ESOTERICA)
Politics: Steven Bonnell II (Destiny)
Each section includes a one-hour featured lecture, followed by a 90-minute debate/discussion and a 90-minute community discussion involving the audience.
We are currently inviting academics throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to express interest in joining our speakers on stage during the symposium discussions.
Calling what Steven Pinker does "science" is an insult to actual scientists, but has his star really fallen so far that he has to show up to events like this? Man's a professional bullshitter but he did bullshit his way into Harvard.
Take a look at his bio...
Has degrees in Philosophy. Main interests in Epistemology and Buisness Ethics.
Obsessed with Ayn Rand, writes books against socialism, and thinks the Nazis just took things too far.
That's my thought too! Like, sure, in my mind Pinker is a complete hack and not worth paying even the slightest bit of attention to, but in his mind he's a serious academic. It's gotta sting that he's getting equal billing with a shitty twitch streamer. I hope it eats him up inside that fucking Destiny is considered of a similar intellectual level to himself
This is his Lydia Tár moment
