From The Techno-Humanist Manifesto by Jason Crawford:
- Why we should seek mastery over nature (Ch. 2, part 2)
- Why we should have reverence for human beings and their creations (Ch. 3, “Ode to Man”)
- Active solutionism vs. complacent optimism or defeatist pessimism (Ch. 5, part 1)
When & where: Discussion will be at 7PM on Wednesday October 21st - we meet at Vintage Wine Bar & Bookstore (google) - 1101 E 11th St - typically upstairs.
Who should join?
We welcome curious minds interested in progress, humanism, and agency—whether you’re deeply invested or just exploring. No prior engagement with progress studies or the broader community is necessary. Expect a range of viewpoints and constructive, thoughtful dialogue.
