What Can Sustain Truth, Moral Courage, and Human Dignity in the Modern World?
March 2026 | Washington D.C.
Our inaugural event in D.C. featured Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Dr. Francis Collins, two prominent public intellectuals who approach questions of faith, reason, and human flourishing from different starting points. Moderated by Trae Stephens, Cofounder and Chairman of Anduril Industries and General Partner at Founders Fund.
Together, they represented a compelling dialogue: one shaped by political philosophy and lived experience of religious extremism, the other by scientific leadership and a long-standing effort to harmonize faith and evidence-based inquiry.
