"Fahrenheit 2451: what would you save?"

Academic Conference in San Francisco

https://ideasworthsaving.org/

What a way to start the Lunar New Year with a gathering like this at @internetarchive !

Image and text from the website:

"Discuss knowledge preservation and dissemination; dig into theological and literary texts, films, and works of art; get inspired by ancient, timeless truths; and explore ideas worth saving."

Wish I can be there! Hope there will be follow-up recordings or blog posts.
