<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Roboto Light"">I would like to draw your attention for the free
<b>international scientific meeting</b> on the topics of <b>wisdom</b>, <b>epistemic humility</b>,
<b>judgment</b>, <b>morality</b>, and <b>culture</b> – the 2021 Wisdom Summit, to take place on October 11.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Roboto Light"">The summit includes
<b>flash talks for junior scholars</b> to highlight diverse, cutting edge research from senior graduate students, post-docs and pre-tenure faculty (note we have two times devoted to people from different time zones – we can accommodate 12 flash talks in total).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Roboto Light"">To better prepare for the summit, we ask psychological scientists and other empirically-oriented scholars working on 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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Roboto Light"">Consider the world we live in today. 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 ever-increasing flow of information and misinformation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:40.5pt"><span lang="EN-CA" style="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? 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">
(<a href="https://psyarxiv.com/w9ygc/">https://psyarxiv.com/w9ygc/</a>),</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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
