Great sex isn’t something you stumble into. It’s something you develop by working to understand yourself, your needs, and those of your partner. It requires thoughtful introspection, radical self-acceptance, and honest communication.
In this talk, Dr. Morse will explore the elements of “Sexual Intelligence,” including how to clarify your needs and desires, communicate them with confidence to a partner (or potential partner), and create a sex life you’ll love.

Join Emily Morse @SexWithEmily at LevelUp this year in Chicago!

Explore the power of individuality in Ayn Rand’s Anthem.

The author depicts a future society where the word “I” has been erased, independence is treated as a sin, excellence is punished, and virtue means obedience, conformity, and self-sacrifice.

In this reading group, instructor Matheus Pacini will lead a deep dive into independence, collectivism, and what it means to think for yourself.

The course starts on June 2, 2026, with weekly live sessions on Tuesdays from 12:00–1:30pm PT. Sessions are interactive on Zoom, and full recordings will be available if you can’t attend live.

PS: We offer scholarships for students and young adults aged 29 and under! 🧑🏻‍🎓👨🏽‍🎓

“Intellectual freedom cannot exist without political freedom; political freedom cannot exist without economic freedom; a free mind and a free market are corollaries.” — Ayn Rand

Conspiracy theories have always been part of political life. But today they increasingly shape mainstream debate, often blurring the line between genuine wrongdoing and unfounded speculation. How can you tell the difference?

Many thoughtful people accept mind-body integration in theory but fall short on the body part in practice.

In this talk, Arthur Zey will make the case for treating exercise and nutrition as vital elements of a flourishing life—and share practical, sustainable approaches to training and eating healthfully. You’ll leave with a clear framework and concrete next steps for integrating mind-body integration into your life.
