Agenda: “The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us To Loathe Government. And Love The Free Market”
Tonight we will watch Professor Naomi Oreskes as she discusses and summarizes her acclaimed book “The Big Myth” as she the history of how and why many Americans have embraced the idea that “Big Government” is wasteful and inefficient while believing that we should instead place our trust in the free market to solve our problems. she balustrades how many large government programs — from Social Security to the invention of the Internet — have been very successful. So why then, do so many have disdain for our government while embracing the free market? She recounts the story of how American business leaders intervened in politics, popular culture, the educational system, religious life, and academic discourse to promote market fundamentalism.
An internationally renowned scientist and historian and author of eight books, she is professor of the history of science and professor of earth and planetary sciences at Harvard University. Also, a leading voice on the reality of anthropogenic climate change and the history of efforts to undermine climate action, and scientific truth.

21:00 (9 pm) - Hidden San Francisco: A Guide to Lost Landscapes, Unsung Heroes, and Radical Histories w/Ann Li
Hidden San Francisco is a guidebook like no other. Structured around the four major themes of ecology, labour, transit and dissent, Chris Carlsson peels back the layers of the city’s history to reveal a storied past: behind old walls and gleaming glass facades lurk former industries, secret music and poetry venues, forgotten terrorist bombings, and much more. Carlsson also delves into the Bay Area’s long prehistory, examining the region’s geography and the lives of its indigenous inhabitants before the 1849 Gold Rush changed everything.
This second edition includes new tours on the wild and natural parts of San Francisco that most tourists never visit, from Glen Canyon to Sutro Forest, as well as a new themed walk on the Summer of Love. There is also a new introduction examining the devastating impact of the pandemic, as well as a mini-history of tech in the city, from the Gold Rush to AI.

Guest stars are plentiful throughout, from Ellen Barkin and Adrien Brody to Luis Guzmán and Chloë Sevigny. An inverted detective series, also known as a “howcatchem” and popularized by “Columbo,” the crime and perpetrator are shown at the beginning of each episode, and follows Charlie as she tries to solve the mystery.
