“A world without heretics is a world in decline, and in a declining civilization everything we value, from science and technology to prosperity and freedom, is in jeopardy,” the Founders Fund wrote. “So let’s have a conversation.”

Attendees will purportedly include “many of our culture’s most important troublemakers in the fields of knowledge necessary to the progressive improvement of our civilization,” the Founders Fund wrote, before listing the wide range of topics up for discussion.
