Adam Ormes’s presentation, ‘Technocracy, the Inklings and the Spiritual Struggle of Our Time’, at the Commonwealth of Free Spirits 1st International Conference in Porto, Portugal, June 2024. BIO: Adam Ormes has spent a large part of his existence seeking out ways of resolving numerous riddles and paradoxes, which he finds can be something of a thankless task, but nonetheless a worthy one. He is half English, half Polish, and for the last 5 years has been living in Lithuania in an effort to deepen into his cultural heritage. As part of this, he has been learning the Lithuanian and Prussian languages, and playing a supportive role in the Prussian Community of Lithuania. He is also part of the music groups Crooked Mouth and Romowe Rikoito.
