Dawn in the West: A Futurist Serata at the Wagon Box

There is something apocalyptic in the air. The post WWII global consensus is falling apart before our eyes, markets are in turmoil, partisan messaging a noisy mess, and AI looms a fantastic and menacing solution. Here after History’s seeming retreat from the West, the Future is dawning. For those awaiting the Messiah, it is always just before dawn; we look unto the hills. This micro-conference will take on the Futurist topic from various angles, with particular attention to the historical and the eternal.
