What is “resolution”? Why do we make New Year’s Resolutions? What ideas motivate us? What are our plans, projects and dreams?
We will be meeting Wednesday, December 23 at 7:30 pm to discuss both the philosophical ideas behind resolutions as well as our own personal goals. John will be facilitating.
Feel free to invite your friends; if needed we’ll split into two discussion groups now that we have the space to do so.

Just because a technology exists, does that mean society should use it?
Kathryn will be facilitating this week’s ThinkTank discussion.
We’ll be discussing concepts related to “technological imperative,” such as what is meant by the idea of the “technological imperative?”
