I got an interesting email last night.
Looks like I've been invited by the Pittsburgh branch of the Center for Inquiry to give a talk as part of their monthly lecture series.
I've been asked to give an informal talk on politics and religion in Western Pennsylvania.
Keep this date and time open: December 13th at 7pm - it'll be at the Carnegie Science Center.
As luck would have it, Peduto's got something going on at exactly the same time.
The Center for Inquiry? Who the what? Why does it sound a little like Faber College's motto?
ReplyDeleteDoes it have a cost (yeah, I am that cheap)?
Center for Inquiry Pittsburgh is part of a national group that supports science and reason. So you are right: "Knowledge is Good" is a fine summation of their goals. If only every politician in America would take such a bold stance!
ReplyDeleteAs for cost, it is free beyond a slight fee for parking. Some also give a donation, but that is completely optional.
If only, indeed. I have always been a big fan of knowledge, even if I don't always understand the knowledge involved (how old is the earth? I'm not a scientist, man).
ReplyDeleteI wonder how tough it would be to attend this and then scoot over to the Peduto thing. Or maybe the Peduto ticket(s) will simply end up being a donation.
