Is anyone else attending the American Humanists Association annual conference this weekend? I signed up and listened to the welcome segment today, but didn't recognize anyone from this site, but it was a pretty small turnout for the opening segment.
Tomorrow's agenda will be begin at 11am Eastern Time, so 5am my time here in Hawaii, yawn, so I will likely keep my video screen blank and sit back and listen in my pajamas.
I watched some of it via a live streaming feed from one of the speakers.
I couldn't watch all of it, due to work and need for sleep in the mornings, but did get to see the speakers who interested me.
I felt compelled to ask the question. ." So what is the main goal of the humanist society .? ".
How human is human ? a familiar White Zombie lyric .
After the group stripped. Richard Dawkins of an award because if identity politics basically . Gender ideology run amok.

Richard Dawkins as convincingly good as he can often be . Hrs no CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS .
Never agree with everything he echos either .
He was a big fan of the Iraq war . Had a photo of George bush as a boy , tucked in his school boy vest.
But Christopher made Theologians tremble in debates .a lite winston & a burboun on the rocks . His favourite. RIP .
Must find out more about Humanist & the practice of . I'll do what Chunk Yoghurt always says

I wasn't aware of the conference. Sorry I missed lobby day.
5 a.m. Monday? You are dedicated!
Have you heard some interesting speakers?
No, 5am today (my time) which is Saturday Morning for me. So, it just started with a nice opening, but is already on its first break before the speaker sessions start.
If it is a virtual conference I am done with that.
And I don't have remaining vacay time this year to do any real thing.
Topic of discussion is obviously going to be decent of America to religious theocracy I would imagine.
Pedophiles Dads and Uncles can now legally rape ten year olds to breed new victims since ten is getting too old for to be attracted.
