Turned in 100,000+ word TECH AGNOSTIC draft yesterday. 5 yrs work. @mitpress already sending out for peer review (& advice on what to cut...it's LONG, incl. 5K words of notes/references!). Need to send pre-publicity info f/@penguinrandom next week. Can't believe it's really real.

I've been working on my next book for three years now. Excited that it officially has a name—Tech Agnostic—and a great home @mitpress. Publication is still awhile away; plenty of time for more interviews. DM/Signal if you want to talk or send ideas. mitpress.mit.edu/blog/book-deal…

& 🙏 TYSM to the great people @mitpress for encouraging me to do this with a year+ to go before publication of my book for them. I've been working harder on TECH AGNOSTIC than I've ever worked on anything in my life, and I can't wait to share it with you. twitter.com/mitpress/statu…

This is truly exciting news. Can’t wait to work with you on Tech Agnostic!

I get shy sharing footage of myself on TV, but really appreciated this @ABC @ABCNewsLive invite to discuss my book @goodwithoutgod @HarperCollins. Blows me away that people are still reading it years after publication, but #humanism=relevant as ever. 1/2

We saw you're on @ABCNewsLive tonight so we logged on for the first time since (checks notes) Oct. 2022. How's it been going on this platform since then? Did we miss anything?

I just taped a very nice conversation about humanism for ABC News, w/ rockstar correspondent @lipoftv, for @ABCNewsLive. An honor. But my wife asked me what time & I realized, wait, the news is still on at certain *times*? Doesn't it just sorta float around us at all times, now?

Hard to say I'm "excited" to discuss the ethics of life amid climate crisis, but I'm so glad to be doing this event w/author @madelinevo & MIT partners like @KSJatMIT. Pass on to MIT people in your life? For others: buy Madeline's important book; we'll do a broader event later.

The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard and MIT is shocked and saddened by the attack on Sir Salman Rushdie, first recipient of our lifetime achievement award for humanism in culture, or, "The Rushdie Award." We wish a speedy recovery to an important humanist and a brave human being.

Here's @hemantmehta, @onlyskymedia, on why the "communitarian atheism" @ZeeshanAleem seeks=right here to be found. Not only in my work but more importantly in work countless humanist/atheist/secular activists and community leaders are doing, worldwide. 2/2 onlysky.media/hemant-mehta/a…

Favorite new thing from yesterday: @ZeeshanAleem @MSNBC on the exact work I've done f/2 decades: building community-oriented atheism/humanism. Lovely story of how his Muslim grandfather caused Aleem to discover atheism, & how it inspired him. Also...1/2 msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard and MIT extends deepest condolences to family and colleagues of the late E. O. Wilson. Professor Wilson was a legendary humanist whose scientific achievements were exceeded only by his compassion for humanity. nytimes.com/2021/12/27/sci…

“Dear Pastor," begins my favorite piece from the late E.O. Wilson, who died Sunday, "We have not met, yet I feel like I know you well enough to call you friend. You are a literalist interpreter of Christian Holy Scripture..." Compassion defined his work nytimes.com/2021/12/27/sci…

"Humanity originated here by evolution from lower forms over millions of years. Ethics is the code of behavior we share on the basis of reason, law, honor, and an inborn sense of decency, even as some ascribe it to God’s will." Thank you, Ed. Your life was a gift to humanity.
