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.

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  \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
