SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Our new book is Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (2017) by Max Tegmark. This book can be purchased new for around $16 in paperback and for about the same price as an ebook and hardback. How AI will affect us individually and socially is one of the great questions for our time.\nThis book should at least help to clarify the issues. For the 4th\, we’ll read the prelude and the first two chapters. You are welcome to come even if your intelligence is other than human. As a matter of fact\, if that is the case we would especially like you to come. \n

SUMMARY:Minnesota Muslims-Up Close
DESCRIPTION:Muslims have been part of Minnesota since the 19th Century so why are we just noticing them now? Examine the diversity and the unity of the Muslim experience in the Land of a Thousand Lakes. \nThe speaker\, Tamim Saidi\, has been active in describing Islam and the Muslim’s culture and way of life. This is your chance to hear what being a Muslim is like in the land of Lutherans and how Minnesota Nice plays out with an increasingly visible religious group. \nThis is also a chance to ask questions about one of the largest of the world’s religions. You can even be politically incorrect. Tamim Saidi (pronounced Ta-meem Sa-ee-dee) has worked with Islamic Resource Group\, is on the advisory board to CAIR-MN\, and is President of a mosque in Plymouth. He is a Doctor of Pharmacy and works as a Consultative Pharmacist. He is the father of four children\, a son\, a husband\, and a brother.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will read chapters 3 and 4 of Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max Tegmark. For this meeting we are going to try something different. In keeping with the spirit of the book\, rather than having an intelligent conversation\, we are going to attempt to SIMULATE an intelligent conversation. \nCome and participate in this bold experiment.
