Dinner for Patronage? At Skepticon This November!


Photo of Richard Carrier in white shirt, red and grey striped tie, and silver vest, speaking at the podium of Wonderfest.Want to secure a dinner conversation with me? Here’s how. Not only will I be at Skepticon this November 13th-15th (not to speak but just for fun!), but I’m helping Bo Bennett & Kile Jones launch their Secular Backstage service by offering up an opportunity to join me for dinner when I’m there! We are auctioning the opportunity, minimum bid $100. Closes in six days (or until we have a bidder), so spread the word, and let everyone know whom you think might be interested. Or put in a bid yourself! The money goes to support my ongoing independent scholarship and activism. So this is a worthwhile way to offer me your patronage, as well as bend my ear or pick my brain for at least an hour.
The occasion will be Friday the 13th (Day of Evil!) at or around 7pm. In Springfield, Missouri. And Skepticon is free, so this is all the more reason to go. Their website has all the info you need to plan.
Things we can talk about include…
  • Critical thinking and public education
  • Historical methods and the logic of history
  • The philosophy of naturalism and other worldviews
  • Humanism, feminism, and the concept of social justice
  • Ancient Greco-Roman history, esp. science, technology, religion
  • The historicity of Jesus and the origins of Christianity
  • Polyamory and the future of human relationships
  • Richard’s involvement in exposing fraudulent Hitler quotes
  • Bayes’ Theorem and Bayesian reasoning
  • The skills and tactics of debate
  • Christian apologetics
  • Any of my books or articles
Want in? Get a bid in before it’s too late!
