<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Roboto Light"">We would like to draw your attention for the free international scientific meeting on the topics of wisdom, judgment, morality, and culture – the 2021 Wisdom Summit, to take place
on October 11. https://wisdomsummit.uwaterloo.ca/ <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Roboto Light"">To better prepare for the summit, we ask psychological scientists and other empirically-oriented scholars working on judgment, morality, ethics, and related themes to
complete a 10 min survey to help us identify points of convergence and divergence on the questions about wisdom, morality, and culture, and share insights with the academics and the general public. https://uwaterloo.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8ugtnS7392S2wZ0<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Roboto Light"">Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have repeatedly debated freedom and economic interests versus protection of the most vulnerable among us. Natural and humanitarian disasters
have forced us to reconsider the balance of short and long-term interests. And we are just at the onset of an infodemic, with an e</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Roboto Light"">ver-increasing flow of information and misinformation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:40.5pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Roboto Light"">For millennia, in times like these scholars have called for wisdom. And in the last few decades, scientists became interested in this topic, too. What
do psychological scientists think about wisdom and how does it relate to morals, ethics and our cultural biases?
</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Roboto Light"">We welcome you to discuss these questions in our 2021 Wisdom Summit. Like in the Task Force meeting two years ago<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">
(https://psyarxiv.com/w9ygc/),</span></span> we start with a program-building survey to identify points of convergence and divergence, to share insights with the academics and the general public. Our summit will also include keynotes and discussions. So, please
help us by starting with a survey and make sure to register for the live event on October 11.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Roboto Light""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
