Legalize it?

Such a debated topic. So much stigma. Now is the time to get to the bottom of it. On this fateful day join us to discuss the legalization of w**d. Are there more benefits than drawbacks to legalization? What impacts does legalization have on the way other drugs are thought about?

Come discuss this fun and controversial topic with us Monday evening.

Stop and Think.

Does the relationship between humans and AI infringe on our agency?

Over the past few decades the presence of AI in everyday life has increased exponentially. From students using ChatGPT for assignments to businesses using AI to streamline decision making processes, AI is everywhere. Where do we draw the line? When does AI become so encompassing that we no longer make decisions for ourselves? What does our increasing reliance on AI mean for our future as a species? Will we be forced to give AI agency and autonomy? Will that threaten our own agency and autonomy?

Does AI enhance our agency and our capabilities, or does it limit it? Is it possible to go back, or is the damage irreversible? Is it possible to ensure our agency while still using AI for maximum benefit? Is the relationship between humans and AI net positive or negative? What would human society look like without this relationship with AI?

Join us and .sta this evening to discuss the complicated relationship between humans and AI.

If you buy a donut do you buy the hole?

The ultimate question. When you purchase something with a hole in it, are you also purchasing the part that used to be in the hole? There's a whole lot of rabbit holes to go down. Are you purchasing the space the hole takes up or are you just purchasing the donut? Does this mean that you should get a complimentary donut hole when purchasing a donut? Does it work both ways - when you purchase a donut hole, do you get a complimentary donut? What does that mean for the donut economy? Donut fanatics? And finally, which is best, the donut or the hole?

Join us Monday to dive into all the holes this question has.

Discussing Ubuntu

"I am because we are." Not just a philosophical idea, but a way of life, Ubuntu teaches us that life is not an individual experience, but a collective experience shaped by our relationships with others. But who is the 'we' in "I am because we are"? Are we only responsible for duties to our 'in-group', or does Ubuntu imply that such duties stretch beyond? Is there a limit to this communal obligation, and when does 'community' become coercion?

Ubuntu has its origins in Southern African philosophy, based on the idea that our humanity is shaped through our relationships with others. Can Ubuntu be adopted without flattening its origins? Is it universal, or culturally specific? What do we lose when we reduce it to a slogan?

Join us and Ubuntu Monday evening to investigate the meaning, use and interpretation of Ubuntu in the modern-day world.

Stop and Think.
