This event has already taken place.
Start Date: 03.09.2020. Start Time: 19:00
Location: O'Connells
•All debate on any topic is seemingly contentious (and public!) There is a sense that all positions are polarised (and popularised!) - and becoming ever more so? People for or against specific positions; many arguing from highly principled “social justice warrior” perspectives.
•Even – maybe especially for this audience – when simply putting the objective scientific record straight in the face of interested / subjective / rights & freedoms / irrational / ill-informed / superstitious / religious / conspiracy positions.
•What makes for a good argument? How do you know if your discourse has even got to first-base? We will air some topics that may seem alien – post-modern, politically correct - to an objective, scientific audience of skeptics?
