I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in Indianapolis. Tomorrow I will be attending a two-day Liberty Fund seminar on "Liberty in the Scientific Enlightenment," a discussion using E.O. Wilson's Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge as a jumping off point. Other attendees (there are 15 in total) include Vernon Smith, Larry Arnhart, Carl Mitcham, Stephen Barr, and Ronald Bailey. How - or why - I ended up in such company, I'm still unsure, but if anything interesting happens, I might just post something.
