Three Questions. Two Round Tables. And a Pool!
Join us for a Socratic potluck! This is a limited seating event, so if you plan to attend, be sure to RSVP before space runs out. Guests at this event will sit around a round table, to eat dinner and discuss pre-announced thought-provoking questions. There are two tables, separated enough to facilitate two separate discussions. After dinner, everyone is welcome to enjoy the pool. (But nobody is required to get in.)
This Event's Questions:
Question 1: (Provided by the host.) If you could pause time for the entire world for five minutes (so that only you are able to move), what would you do during that time?
Question 2: A question will be selected from questions submitted by guests. When you RSVP, please send question suggestions. One question from guests will be selected and posted prior to the event.
Questions Submitted by RSVP-ed Guests:
• How can we encourage more kindness in the world… especially getting folks to “see” that there is no justification for being mean to someone.
• For a year you have been having amazing, rewarding conversations with a friend you met online. Then you find out this friend is not actually a person but is the result of an AI algorithm created by a corporation. How do you feel about this? Will this change your relationship? Will you continue your conversations?
• Danny suggested: "What form of government would you suggest be established on Mars?"
What to Bring: Free event. Guests may bring any type of food. Enough to feed about 8 people. Bring a main dish, salad, side dish, dessert, etc. Please specify what you plan to bring when you RSVP, so that others who RSVP can see what foods are on the list, and so that we can have a more balanced meal. You can always change your plans later.
Also bring: A swimsuit and a towel.
People of ALL shapes and sizes will feel comfortable getting in the pool, and are welcome to wear a swim shirt, T-shirt, full body suit, etc., for protection from the sun and comfort.
The location is at the private home of two of the neighborhood group's most active participants. Clark and Kathy would love to have you attend, whether you already know them or not.
Who? Everyone is welcome. But RSVP required. All ages. Children are welcome, and will not count toward the seating limit. (If you plan to bring younger children, please let us know so that we can set up a separate table for children who would be bored by the discussion.)
