SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, West Hartford\, August 26\, 2026: Mike MacDonald\, Churchtown Dairy
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILWest Hartford\, CT\, August 26: Mike MacDonald\, Churchtown Dairy \nOn Wednesday\, August 26\, 2026\, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club – the first in the nation – is pleased to host the general manager of the Churchtown Dairy in Churchtown\, New York. It is one of this nation’s greatest treasures both in its remarkable products but also in the beauty of the place. It’s also the home of the world-famous round barn\, a true architectural achievement.  \n \nChurchtown is also leading the way in rediscovery the cultivation of real food as our ancestors ate. And they are doing it against all odds and despite unrelenting pressure not to do this.  \nMike will speak about the dairy’s history\, its operations\, its struggles\, and its future – which is bound up with the future of the American farm itself.  \nButterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of the Brownstone Institute. Come early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends\, scholars\, writers\, and benefactors\, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun\, even if some people come in fancier clothing. \nMike MacDonald is in charge of operations of the Churchtown Dairy\, a beacon for those drawn to the beauty of small farms\, pastured animals\, and the life-giving energy of real food. He operates a raw milk dairy\, creamery\, and garden to live out our commitment to preserving farming traditions that sustain human and ecological health. \nChurchtown engages in education and research centered on principles of organic farming and agroecology. It believes that the trend toward chemical “Big Ag” must be reversed. It supports initiatives that seek to return agricultural practices to appropriate scale. It believes it is imperative to produce food with integrity in the service of our bodies\, our minds\, and our communities. \nChurchtown embodies a vision of a world where small is not only beautiful\, but viable; where we consciously connect our work to the systems of life.  \nBonus: Mike says that he will bring some of its legendary cheese for us! You will be astonished. What’s more\, this event will be a real experience for supper club members.  \n

SUMMARY:Brownstone Pittsburgh Supper Club\, August 26\, 2026: Ann Bauer
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILDeBlaze at 131 | 131 E Main St.\, Carnegie\, PA 15106 \nWednesday\, August 26\, 2026 6:30 – 9 pm  \n$53 includes appetizers and dinner \nPittsburgh Brownstone Supper Club is pleased to welcome Ann Bauer\, as she presents “Chronological Certainty and the Crackdown on Speech.” \nC.S. Lewis wrote about this phenomenon (as Chronological Snobbery) that has become hardened in today’s elite academic world. It’s the fallacy that whatever science came before modern “discoveries” was faulty\, naive\, and suspect. But everything researchers say\, believe\, or divine TODAY is indisputable fact. Coupled with speech laws banning misinformation\, it allows a small\, self-interested group of so-called scientists to dictate “truth.” It is regressive. The Vanishing Family\, a widely-publicized forthcoming book by bestselling author Robert Kolker\, underscores this trend. \nAnn Bauer is a novelist\, essayist\, and co-founder of the publishing app Storyalīz\, which was developed to improve literacy and critical thinking.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Greater Boston Supper Club\, Sept. 1\, 2026: Madhava Setty
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILRocco’s Restaurant and Bar\, 193 Main Street\, Wilmington\, MA \nTuesday\, September 1st\n5:30pm – 9:00pm\nWilmington\, MA\n$55 \nPlease join us for an evening of lively conversation\, intriguing speakers\, and fun!  This month we are pleased to welcome Madhava Setty\, MD  \nYour ticket also includes an appetizer\, hearty buffet dinner\, and wine\, and covers tax and gratuity. \nAbout Madhava Setty\, MD \nDr. Setty is the Science Advisor to the International Center for 9/11 Justice. After earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from MIT\, Dr. Setty spent six years in the Defense Industry developing combat training simulators and computer graphics interfaces for underwater surveillance systems. He received his MD from Baylor College of Medicine in 1998 and trained in anesthesiology at University of Pennsylvania where he was Chief Resident in 2002. Dr. Setty has been a Board Certified anesthesiologist since 2003. During the pandemic Madhava served as the Senior Science Editor for The Defender\, the online newsletter for Children’s Health Defense. He is the author of “WOKE. An Anesthesiologist’s View”\, a systematic examination of the bias in establishment science\, media and our own minds. He writes the popular newsletter “An Insult to Intuition” on the Substack platform.  \nAbout the Talk \nThe topic of 9/11 deserves deep investigation and contemplation perhaps more today than ever before. Until a few years ago\, challenging the official account of the events of September 11th would relegate you to remote corners of social media discourse. Today\, supporting the official story comes with serious liability to your own credibility. Unlike previous events in our history which have been distorted to usher in greater surveillance and justify expensive and deleterious counter-measures both biological and societal\, the necessary rejection of foundational scientific principles to support the “official narrative” is obvious even to those with little or no scientific or engineering background. \n \nIn this talk I will first clarify the actual explanation offered by the governing scientific body conducting the investigation of those events\, The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\, how it violates basic laws of motion and how it overtly veers from the scientific method to reach unfounded conclusions. Next I will explain why a rigorous examination of the 9/11 events is perhaps the most useful tool in exposing legacy media propaganda and the fallacy that “expert” opinion and scientific “consensus” is irreproachable.  \nVenue\, Location & Parking \nRocco’s\, 193 Main Street\, Wilmington. Free parking. Overflow parking at Dunkin’ Donuts next door\, or across the street @ Sherwin Williams. \nRegistration\n$55 per person.  Space is limited so be sure to secure your seat early! \nFor more information contact Brianne at BrianneKrupsaw@gmail.com Please include “September Supper Club” in the subject line. \n

SUMMARY:Brownstone Chattanooga Supper Club\, September 1\, 2026: Gigi Foster
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILChattanooga Supper Club\, September 1\, 2026; 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm \nGigi Foster \nState of Confusion Restaurant (Pumphouse)\, 301 E Main St.\, Chattanooga\, TN 37408 (423) 760-3473 \nTuesday\, September 1st | 5:30 – 9:00 pm \nChattanooga\, TN \n$45 per person. Cash bar available. \nPlease join us for an evening of lively conversation\, intriguing speakers\, and fun! This month we are pleased to welcome Brownstone Institute Senior Scholar Gigi Foster\, now on sabbatical in the US. \nAbout Gigi Foster \nGigi Foster works in diverse fields including education\, social influence\, time use\, lab experiments\, behavioural economics\, and Australian policy. Named 2019 Young Economist of the Year by the Economic Society of Australia\, she publishes in both specialised and cross-disciplinary outlets\, and her innovative teaching was awarded a 2017 Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning. She has filled numerous roles of service to the profession and engages heavily on economic matters with the Australian community\, as one of Australia’s leading economics communicators\, in the media and at live events. She co-founded the think tank Australians for Science and Freedom in 2023\, and is an author of dozens of academic articles and several books\, including The Great Covid Panic (2021) and Do Lockdowns and Border Closures Serve the “Greater Good”? (2022). \nAbout the Talk \nThe ethics\, politics and economics of Western renewal. The modern West is in decline\, as evidenced in our institutions\, our culture\, and the betrayal of our people by elites who disregard the needs of a healthy society in favour of serving power. What to do? In this Brownstone Supper Club talk\, I will describe my approach to this uber-problem as an economist trained in the broad social sciences\, from both a theoretical and a highly practical standpoint\, focussing on desirable and feasible options for institutional redesign. Amongst other things I will discuss the mission and activities of the free think tank I co-founded and co-direct\, Australians for Science and Freedom\, and the newest attempt at Western renewal in which I am involved: a serious proposal for the secession of Western Australia from that country’s Commonwealth government. I will also briefly discuss the origin of Brownstone Institute’s first published book\, The Great Covid Panic\, released in September 2021\, which I co-authored with Paul Frijters and Michael Baker. \nVenue\, Location & Parking \n$45 per person. Space is limited\, so be sure to secure your seat early: For more information\, contact Janet Gorbitz (local host) at operations@brownstone.org.
