Just a brief announcement: The weekend of November 9, I’ll be in Springfield, Missouri for Skepticon 5. Since I had such a blast at Skepticon 4 last year, there’s no way I couldn’t go back. And though I don’t want to reveal any spoilers, there’s a distinct possibility that I’m not just going to be in the audience this year. Further updates on that, possibly, as the time draws nearer.

If last year was any guide, there will be ample opportunity over the weekend for carousing and meetups. If you’re also planning to attend and would like to be part of one, let me know!

During his talk at A Night of Awe and Wonder, he explained how the awe we feel in moments of courage and love is moral beauty — and following it might be the start of our spiritual revolution.
