Wilson, Kenneth Miller, and many more for an historic discussion marking the 50th anniversary of C.P. Snow’s famous address.
Look forward to seeing you there 🙂

Perhaps May 9, 2009 is when and where change begins. If not then, there is hope for change on the first Monday in October 2009 in NYC at the NYTimes Building, ground floor, at 2:00PM.
It appears to me that a social transformation of a hard to imagine kind, a radical transformation not witnessed by anyone now alive, is in the offing. Perhaps powerful human forces of sensibly-directed “intentional will” and emotional contagion, engendered by a deliberative dialogical process and embraced by the family of humanity, will lead to a rapid paradigm shift and a new, more reality-oriented set of humane {to replace profane} social values. When the new way of thinking about the world we inhabit and better social values are reasonably mobilized and become ubiquitously evident in the self-limiting actions of members of participatory democracies {to replace the conspicuous over-consumption activities of the selfish leaders of governing oligarchies}, I expect the family of humanity will find its way from the profane values and unsustainable lifestyles of the elites, such as we see today, to a sustainable future world order on this sacred Earth.
