Upcoming Salem Center and Bastiat Society Events

Bet On It is a project of the Salem Center for Policy at the University of Texas in Austin. Next week, my friends there are hosting two public talks.

  1. Stanford’s Josh Rauh on “Investing for Society? Why We Should Preserve Shareholder Capitalism and How to Do It.” Think of it as, “Everything you ever wanted to know about ESG, but were afraid to ask?

    Monday, March 20 at 4 PM at UT. In-person at RRH 4.314, or via Zoom here.

  2. U Wash’s Pedro Domingos on “How Will AI Change Ethics?”

    The ethical issues surrounding AI have received a lot of attention lately, but unfortunately it’s all been about shoehorning AI into current Western ethical norms. But AI will dramatically change society and therefore ethics, as did previous technological revolutions (e.g., printing, the pill). This talk will examine how AI might change our views of what’s ethical and what’s not, and how we can prepare for it.

    Thursday, March 23 at 4:30 PM at UT. In-person at RRH 5.402, or via Zoom here.

  3. The following week, I am speaking to the Bastiat Society in Nashville on “Libertarianism Against the Welfare State.” Live at the Richland Country Club, super-sweet! Open to the public, but advance registration required.

    Tuesday, March 28 at 6 PM.

Marx is wrong. Man has free will.
