About Event

It's time to fight about humanity.

We are launching a new publication—Persona—to have all out debates about humanity's first principles: what we are and where we are going.

We want arguments with anyone willing to wrestle with first principles: pro-tech founders and anti-tech activists, secularists who believe in trans-human destiny and religious visionaries who believe in intrinsic human dignity.

Join us next Friday, 11 Sept for our launch with Francis Fukuyama defending human nature.

Celebrating his new book—In the Realm of the Last Man—we'll dig into the primary questions: Is there such a thing as human nature? What should that mean in a world in which we can live an extra two hundred years, or boost our IQ by 150? And what is to become of society in this new age of technological prowess?
