From the polished lenses of Galileo's telescope to the purified silicon inside Jensen's GPUs, humans have forged instruments of truth-seeking and sense-making that challenge old belief systems and raise new power structures, built, literally, on sand. We find ourselves in an alchemical age, somewhere between magic and science, where results outpace understanding and evangelists promise omniscient intelligence and autonomous power. Join us for a facilitated discussion, bringing diverse views on religion, technology, and governance, and the curiosity to explore possible and preferable futures.
