"A biologist, a computer scientist and a physicist walk into a bar ... "
We are a community of inspired individuals who meet in a pleasant environment to discuss things that matter with people who care, united in our love for thinking, learning, teaching, sharing ideas and great food.
Each month you can opt-in to participate in a dinner discussion meeting in a small group setting (6-8 people) in the pleasant context of a home-cooked dinner, prepared by one of the society members. There is no membership fee, but you are expected to reimburse the host for groceries.
In each group three people take on crucial roles:
Host: invites the group to their home and makes food (with contributions/reimbursements from group members)
Moderator: defines and introduces a topic. After dinner, we discuss. Topics can be chosen democratically.
Scribe: after the meeting writes a small abstract to summarize and communicate what we learned.
Sample considerations:
“What is the future of work in the context of automation and AI?”
“How can we understand or even define consciousness?”
“What is the role of the individual in the fight against climate change?”
"How can the needs of wildlife and human civilization be balanced?"
"How do we define and measure progress in society?"
"How does language shape our perception of reality?"
"What are the implications of increasing human lifespan and potential immortality?"
You can sign up below for an upcoming meeting, or if you prefer just for the newsletter and we will let you know once per month so you can decide later. There are no obligations attached and your data will be used solely for the purpose of coordinating the meetings and not shared with anyone else.
