Hear Something Different for a Change

Listening to a webcast, attending a conference, or watching a powerpoint presentation about wildfire is akin to sipping warm water with a side of Wonder Bread – tasteless, boring, expected. Speakers will wax and wane about the evils of fire suppression, how clearing habitat will save us, and if we could just do more prescribed fire like Indigenous People supposedly did we would solve the wildfire crisis overnight.

How about discussing why humans keep believing fallacies that can be easily refuted by rational thought; why we keep pouring billions of dollars into programs that fail to produce desired outcomes; and why people believe mistakes are made, but not by them?

Please join us November 19th, Thursday evening from 7 to 9 PM, at the San Diego Library for a free, divergent offering by divergent thinkers: Wildfire and the Quest for Control: Why do we keep getting burned? Details below.

And please consider attending, in person, as part of your effort to enhance and preserve our humanity by leaving the confines of your home, walking away from the screens, and meeting people in a new, physical environment. Additional suggestions on how do more of that can be found in our online journal here: The Chaparralian Creed.
