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.


Found an op-ed from last month that offers “two ways for universities to truly improve campus discourse — and their reputations.” Let’s get some reputational advice from a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, everyone!
That’s rich coming from the guy whose whole schtick is finger waving at people for being “greedy” and not realizing how good they have it.
