 9 comments to Brian’s Friday – Zoom |
Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Wonderful! As I have said on Brian’s own blog, I am desperately sorry that I have had to cancel (I have to self-isolate before an operation), but my husband will be there. Great idea to put it on Zoom so that I and others can attend electronically at least. Prof. Kamall said when the event was announced that we should “Consider it a special edition of Brian’s Fridays, with Brian being the topic rather than the host” – and the topic is an interesting one.
“You just mention something with Brian and before you know it you’re deep into an intellectual discussion” – I loved that quote from one of Brian’s oldest friends.
As I said above, I couldn’t be there in person but I’m really enjoying participating virtually.
That was very interesting, great event. And Perry looks & sounds exactly as I imagined
Met your husband, Natalie. Was a good evening. Brian enjoyed it very much.
Will a recording be posted somewhere, so that people who didn’t catch it live can catch up? (If you were there and we didn’t get a chance to say meet, sorry.)
It was an excellent event.
Brian Micklethwait is a great man.
Very enjoyable evening and I’m so glad Brian was so enthused by all the nice things said about him. Good to catch up with so many friends.
Brian tells me he enjoyed it tremendously. He was particularly pleased with the number of libertarian big cheeses who thanked him for helping them early on in their careers.
Thank you all for attending or joining via Zoom.
Having a room full of people who wanted to pay tribute, whether they spoke on the evening or to Brian directly or listened to others, added to the wonderful atmosphere.
Not only did Brian hear from many people who have been inspired by him, it was also reassuring to learn that there are plans to keep Brian’s work and contribution to the battle of ideas alive.
