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

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.
