Putting philosophy talks at a music festival is one of those ideas you come up with to try and sound smart, cool, and edgy, but as a high schooler who has never done drugs nor been to a live show before.

Anyway I went through the lineup summaries on the wikipedia page, two notes:

1. No Jay Shetty! His particular brand of grift philosophy and thinly veiled clout chasing would fit in exactly at this sort of event. Then again, this festival might actually be beneath him, as he hangs out with hollywood a-listers.
2. The lineup noticeably hits its turning point into a nosedive when they start hosting Pinker in 2018.

Who could have predicted that liberalism would lead into scientific racism and then everything else that follows (mostly fascism)???

You’ve probably just spoken it into existence, friend

Best case, in their inability to recognise that they already in a cult, they create a schism that eats up the rat community once and for all. Unfortunately rats seem to be schism resistant tho.

I mean what’s a sex cult without a little sects?
