God probably doesn’t exist, but that’s not the point.

The point is that we live in a ridiculously amazing world, full of ridiculously amazing people who started with sticks and stones and rudimentary social structure and somehow built skyscrapers, went to the moon, destroyed smallpox, invented new crops that could feed billions of people, connected the entire planet into a global internet hive-mind and we’re not even done yet.

This is more awesome than you are currently thinking. Nope, more awesome than that. Keep going. More. More!

Fortunately we also invented stories and songs, to tell our children and each other how awesome we are, and to inspire people to go even further.

I started a open mic last year, to help create a musical and creative culture that promotes science, rationality, ethics and human progress. After a few months of hiatus we’re relaunching, co-sponsored now by Center for Inquiry—NYC and the NY Society for Ethical Culture. Among my goals is to start steering the more mainstream skeptic/​atheist/​humanist movements towards harder, unanswered questions. This year, we’re building towards a larger end of the year concert event.

The open mic is at the Ethical Culture building, on the 5th floor in room 514. Whether you do performance art (songs, stories, comedy or otherwise) or just want to listen, you are welcome to attend!
