@CameronLMcCord Thank you @CameronLMcCord 🙏

And the black tie event, the feast itself. We did it in Tocqueville’s carriage house.

I opened by speaking about technology-as-poetry, a beautiful and forgotten 10 pages of Democracy in America.

And then I had a dialogue with Tocqueville’s descendant (named Alexis!) in which we explored the man behind the letters.

Then a lecture from @JohnathanBi, out soon.

@matthewjmandel @chalmermagne @culturaltutor @albertwenger @gigidanziger_ @PhilippKoralus @CosmicSkeptic @yo_adriane The next day began with salons, which we did throughout the chateau. Here is my group!

@joaolmateus @matthewjmandel @chalmermagne @culturaltutor @albertwenger @gigidanziger_ @PhilippKoralus @CosmicSkeptic @yo_adriane Hard to even describe.
