spiritual gatheringIntelligence Everywhere Event
An evening of inquiry into the nature of intelligence across species, systems, and artificial minds. Six speakers—scientists, philosophers, writers, and artists—examine what intelligence means when birds outthink primates, forests communicate through fungal networks, and silicon can reason. The event marks the launch of the John Templeton Foundation's Intelligence Venture, a three-year, sixty-million-dollar exploration spanning biology, philosophy, physics, and computer science. The conversation unfolds at an intimate theater in Santa Monica, followed by an after-party for speakers and guests to continue dialogue.
