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.

Join us for a facilitated discussion, bringing diverse views on religion, technology, and governance, and the curiosity to explore possible and preferable futures.
