Sunday Gathering: The Hunt for Objectivity in Post-Truth America
Archimedes famously claimed, "Give me a fulcrum, and I can move the world." However, this idea holds little relevance today, as the concept of objectivity is often criticized as elitist, biased, or ineffective amid widespread conspiracy theories and disinformation. Our speaker, Society Leader Curt Collier, asks: Are there any objective truths remaining? Perhaps philosopher Richard Rorty had a point after all.

This Gathering is at the meetinghouse and on Zoom. The Zoom link will be in members' weekly Focus newsletter and may be obtained by emailing admin@ethicalfocus.org.
