Events for paid subscribers (posted 12-19)
plans for 2022
My thinking for 2022 is that paid subscribers will have access to events on Zoom. These will be about once a month. At this point, my guess is that between 10 and 20 people will show up for each event. Some possible formats:
—a two-person conversation between me and a guest for about 40 minutes, followed by about 20 minutes of audience Q&A. The exact day and time of each event will depend on the availability of the guest. If the guest approves, I will try to record the conversation and make it available to subscribers who cannot be there in person.
—a book discussion. I will propose a book, and whoever reads the book will participate in the discussion (other paid subscribers will be welcome to listen in).
I can imagine combining the two. For example, a discussion of The Mind Club with author Kurt Gray.
Other suggestions for live events welcome.
Based on Arnold's recent post about extreme behavior on social media, I was lamenting the passage of another era when quiet, intelligent interviewers such as William F. Buckley, Jr. and David Frost would host a wide variety of guests and points of view. And here we are! Perhaps Arnold will be the next quiet, intelligent host who asks a lot of questions.
Arnold, why not go to a podcast? Your efforts would reach a much larger audience.
