      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Kristin A. Meekhof

      So apparently this is the Tweet that somehow put me on @DeepakChopra's radar today: A public invitation from a woman who works for him to his conference next month. I politely decline his kind offer.https://twitter.com/KristinMeekhof/status/1184854924741480449 …

      Dear @RichardDawkins , @Evolutionistrue @SamHarrisOrg , @gorskon @michaelshermer @jimmy_wales , You are invited to join Dr. @DeepakChopra at this event. Thank you for your consideration. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/deepak-chopra-and-alice-walton-announce-sages-and-scientists-2019-symposium-300940396.html …

      Particularly odd is that I've had multiple email exchanges with @KristinMeekhof before. @DeepakChopra always seems to communicate with me through her. It's as if he thinks I'm so far below him that he won't sully himself to email or communicate with me directly himself.🤷‍♂️

      In fact, I rather suspect that this is far more about appearing fair to the world than anything else. If @DeepakChopra were really serious about having any of us "apostles of scientism" participate in his symposium, he would've reached out privately and invited us a long time ago

      Just having his assistant tag us all in a Tweet to invite us less than a month before the symposium looks to me to be about appearance, not substance, particularly his chiming in afterwards.

          After all, in my case at least, as a surgeon I need a full month's (at least) notice because, outside of emergencies, my cancer center requires at least that much notice for me to cancel a clinic.

          In any event, it's strange to be in the same company as @RichardDawkins, @Evolutionistrue, @SamHarrisOrg, @michaelshermer, and @jimmy_wales on @DeepakChopra's list.

          David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Deepak Chopra

          And, predictably, @DeepakChopra's response is condescending, probably because I called him out for the obvious bad faith behind the invitation and the disrespectful way that it was delivered in public.https://twitter.com/DeepakChopra/status/1184974221773926400?s=20 …

          Never mind @gorskon ! I thought you might want to learn what luminaries in the the fields of science philosophy and the humanities are discussing but you seem resist getting out of your comfort zone and happy being an apostle for scientism! Good luck ! https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1184962046179315719 …

          Replying to @gorskon

          Yes, you are right, it’s not the way to invite professionals to any serious event. However, knowing Deepak personally for over 20 years I can assure you he has nothing to do with it. It’s the lack of professionalism of some; usually volunteers hired by his control freak assistant
