Ten People. One Table. Three Fascinating Questions.
Location: This event will take place at the Emerson building, where the hosts live, in one of the conference rooms in the downstairs commons area. Indoors. Air conditioned.
Join us for a Socratic potluck! This is a limited seating event, so if you plan to attend, be sure to RSVP before space runs out. Guests at this event will sit around a single table, to eat dinner and discuss pre-announced thought-provoking questions.
This Event's Questions:
Question 1: (Provided by the host.) A straight man can utilize "gay panic" defense murdering a gay man or trans person, suspected of advances, in 39 states.
But young women are sitting in prisons for killing their rapists. Discuss.
Question 2: (from David) What is the correct pronunciation for words like "pecans"? Discuss
Question 3: (from Dominik) In June 2023, United States Air Force officer and former intelligence official David Grusch publicly claimed that he had been approached by other officials within the U.S. federal government who informed him that the government maintains a highly secretive UFO retrieval program and possesses "non-human" spacecraft and the corpses of "non-human" pilots. What are the implications of the government hiding this information from the public? Is it the right thing to do? How should we proceed with disclosure?
[Other questions have not been selected yet. If you RSVP, please send us your suggested question. We will announce all selected questions before the day of the event.]
