My “slides” are also available (as are everybody’s). Difficulty with mine is that I have few words on them, and the pictures won’t make much sense to you without the talk.
“Briggs, you wore a tie like you said you would. But where’s your jacket?”

Speakers in Phoenix were from BSI founders Emily Kaplan, Greg Glassman, philosopher and mathematician Jim Franklin, cancer doc Thomas Seyfried, and all-around doc Malcolm Kendrick.
Incidentally, Franklin was a student of the late great philosophy David Stove, and his talk is about logical probability, which will be of especial interest to regular readers.
This also serves as a reminder for next Tuesday the 11th’s talk for the Hillsdale Academy for Science & Freedom, in Hillsdale, Michigan. I was told they’re expecting “400-500” people, but I gather there are still a few spots let, so if you can be in the area, come on over and say hi.
My talk there is how science goes bad through mistaken and misunderstood philosophy.

Academics are contagious. They cross the blood brain barrier, replicate in the mind and cause mental clotting.
I am excited for your visit.
Hillsdale is an amazing success story, a bijou of college education.
Not despite but rather because it takes no federal money.
"The past eight teams to lose the Super Bowl coin toss would up winning the game, according to NFL Research. Can the Eagles extend the streak?"
Apparently not.
