Contact — Take a Seat

Take a seat

Every hearing needs its strongest opponent. The Commons is actively seeking:

  • Direct and Cross speakers for open hearings – credentialed advocates willing to argue a contested claim on the record.
  • Amici curiae – written submissions of any length, filed as public record. Citing your published work into the documentary record is a fully respected alternative.
  • Panelists – cross-disciplinary judges, named in advance.
  • Corrections – confirmed factual corrections are appended to the public record with provenance.

Skeptics especially welcome. A Hearing is only as strong as its opposition.

Open right now

Hearing #6 – The Hub on Trial has two seats a person can still take, both open until Round 2 opens on September 1, 2026.

  • The More-Than-Human Chair – a Commons first. The fish, the whales and the inlet ecology the Hub would sit in are represented before the panel, on evidence. Open to anyone qualified in marine acoustics, fish or marine mammal ecology, or inlet systems.
  • The Cross-Examination seat – it closed unfilled on August 24 and an AI adversary now writes the Cross. A named human who claims the seat writes it instead, and the machine version publishes as an appendix anyway.

Name the seat in your subject line, and read the docket first: Hearing #6 – The Hub on Trial.
