Go to whatever conference you can afford that is close to your work or where you live. If there are 2 in your town go to both conferences. Volunteer so you can get a discount or a free lunch. Stay late and clean up so you can meet the keynote speakers staying at the hotel where the conference is at. Buy a book and get the author to sign it. Network, network, network!

This conference is my number one choice even though it is from 2021. I am interested in how religions shape people's beliefs and actions. I am interested in how culture reflects religious beliefs and how stories, mythology, geology, zoology theology and philosophy interact with geography and get all mixed up with intersectionality.

Make peace first, and try to keep peace and obey the law and follow the rules. But if the leaders are corrupt, if the lawmakers break the laws and if the government gets bit by a wild dog with rabies and everything is crazy then you know you got to stop war with peace and Bob Marley songs like "Get up! Stand Up! Shake hands with everyone you meet and sing Pete Seege. Build up your social capital, build resources, money, stockpile gold, save the planet and reduce, reuse and recycle. Make war if it helps save people from rape, genocide or slavery. Have songs on your boom box.Make things go boom by yourself. Know you are on SOB to be reckoned with. Be self reliant, respectful and responsible and have positive self esteem.

All these conferences about peace and conferences on conflict are from 2021. I am not Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. I don't have a time traveling space odyssey 2001 spaceship to go back to New York in 2021. I don't even have snow tires on my car. I'm like a 7-11 open 24/7 365 days a year waiting to be robbed of burner phones, lotto tickets and cigarettes. War is coming down the pipelines, I can smell it and feel it in my old war knee bones. We were too late in the middle East. We didn't sing our songs of peace loud enough ten years ago in Gaza, Palestine, and West Bank. We as human beings, failed history class, math, chemistry, comparative religious studies, peacekeeping and physical fitness in 2007 in high school.
