Join us for a discussion of some of the most pressing questions of our age. Is the internet friend or foe? Is it a miraculous common good birthing a future of hope? Is it a privacy mine field brewing anxiety and pulling strings at scale? And what impact does it have on the age-old existential questions? What does it mean to be human? To live a good life? Does it bring us together or drive us apart? And how does it till the fields usually considered the domains of faith: transcendence, morality, ethics, hope, charity?Our guides for the day are seasoned experts, thought leaders who have wandered the terrain ahead and are willing to share what they’ve discovered.Featuring presentations from:
