Artifical Intelligence and its Impact on Society

In this discussion we will talk about the explosion of generative AI technologies. Have they impacted your life? What are they useful for and how are they lacking. Then, we will discuss where we think AI is going in the near future and the long term. Will it lead to a techno-utopia or human extinction?

Discussion: What has the medical establishment gotten wrong?

Details Topics to discuss Should you trust your doctor? This discussion will focus on shifting best practices within the medical field. Have you gotten any bad advice from a doctor? Was your doctor trained fifty years ago and his treatment outdated? We will also discuss the pressures and incentives which push doctors to make bad decisions.

Discussion: Should you have Kids?

Topics to discuss One of the biggest and non reversible decisions we make in life is whether or not to have children. Historically, this was not a decision at all but an assumption and a societal necessity. However today in most western countries, every adult has a decision of whether or not to be childless. Each individual can compare the pros and cons and come to their own decision. Will having children increase your happiness? Will it make your life miserable? The below content is not required, but recommended.

If the weather is nice, we'll go to nearby tables in the courtyard
