@JuliaMasonMD1 @byrne_a @JamesCantorPhD @MIT Our policy is not to record or livestream. Very different views on the topic were aired and listened to, which was our goal.

Thanks to @JamesCantorPhD and Amy Tishelman for a very civil and interesting discussion. Also thanks to the @MIT students, especially those who initially thought this event should not take place, but who came anyway.

Eloquent essay by @SiddhuPachipala , an MIT Civil Discourse @MITCDP fellow. "A protest that persuades presupposes ... that those people marching over there are not unlike me, that they may be owed a hearing." https://t.co/Ika2bw4bsR via @BostonGlobe

Community note: the topics @MITCDP has covered are in fact diverse.

[Brandon Warmke @BrandonWarmke]

Tomorrow I’ll be at MIT for a conversation about reforming universities. If you’re in the Boston area, please come join us and disagree with me.

[Legal Phil @Legal_Fil]

This will be a great event.

That said, there is a lot going on in this poster and none of it makes sense.
