Attendees of the 2015 AHA Annual Conference
July 5, 2015
Humanist Community in Silicon Valley members who attended the 2015 AHA Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado in May will share their memories, thoughts, and impressions of the 2015 Conference. There will then be an open discussion (including audience members) of Humanism, and its relationship to “freedom” and “independence” (in honor of the Fourth of July). For example, to what extent should people be free from governmental requirements (e.g., paying taxes and wearing a seat belt) and governmental prohibitions (e.g., against polluting or exceeding a political contribution limit)? Why are, or are not, these kinds of limits on “freedom” acceptable from a Humanistic point of view?
