Wish I could attend, Thorsteinn! The Conference sounds great!
Question: were the last paragraphs from this post from Dr. Halldorsson's work, or your summary of the issues that will be discussed at the conference? I find this idea of layers of freedom that are under attack to be interesting. To whom would I attribute this quote?:
"But within this layer there is another one; the freedom to live as a human being....This layer of freedom is so fundamental that it isn't even a part of the definition of freedom. It isn’t discussed in any declarations of human rights. It isn’t on the agenda of any political party. Yet it is the core of our nature as human beings.
It is this layer of freedom that is being attacked now, by the authorities, by the media, by the tech giants. The most important question facing us now is how we can defend the innermost layer of our freedom; how can we defend the very fabric of our societies?"
In Chicago. What is with so many Americans wearing masks? Surely they know, they do not work.
Good quote! Oh, I missed the part about the live stream. Thank you!
Thanks for this post-- glad to see this.
