BB President Faisal Saeed Al Mutar was originally set to give the opening remarks. Now, he’s hosting the entire evening.

Faisal and Pinker will spend an hour on stage talking about Pinker’s latest book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows, his earlier work, free speech, social media, human progress, Enlightenment ideas, and plenty more.

Pinker has been part of IBB for years as a board member and supporter of our work. We’ve translated and distributed several of his books in Arabic, including Rationality and Enlightenment Now.

Faisal is also taking questions. If there’s something you’ve always wanted to ask Pinker, send it our way. Some of your questions may make it onto the stage.

Join us September 1 at 7 PM at Palladium Times Square in New York City.

Tickets start at $59. Get yours here.
