Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Social platforms are hijacked by trolls while propaganda has become weaponized by political parties and foreign adversaries alike. How do we ensure a healthier media ecosystem that promotes more productive discourse?
In this public lecture, Lee McIntyre will address the question “What is the appropriate response when confronted with evidence in favor of a theory one does not want to believe?”
