Bertrand Russell, My Hero

Ben Wade

11 a.m., August 25, 2024

Join our old friend Ben Wade this Sunday, either in person or online, as we convene a joint meeting with the Ethical Culture Society of Silicon Valley, ECSSV. Ben will share his longtime fascination with mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell.

Ben Wade has been a student and practitioner of critical thinking for many years. He holds a Masters Degree in Critical Thinking from the University of Massachusetts at Boston.

This gathering is part of ECSSV’s monthly ‘Spotlight’ series, featuring speakers who encourage us to broaden our ethical outlook on the world. We invite discussion, and we mix in a little live music, light refreshment, and community sharing. The program runs from 11 am to 12:30 pm, and all are welcome to linger afterward, share thoughts, and socialize. Better yet, stay for lunch! — which we’ll enjoy together in the nearby picnic area adjacent to the Los Altos History Museum from 12:45 to 2:00.

For more information about the Ethical Culture Society of Silicon Valley, visit their website at http://ecssv.org/ and find their events on their Meetup page, https://www.meetup.com/Ethical-Culture-Society-of-Silicon-Valley/
