    <p><span>Good morning and happy Monday everyone! Today we are going to discuss intelligence!</span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span>An outline for todays presentation:</span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span>{Firstly, we will look at what Intelligence is, and how AI sheds light on what we humans call intelligence.  </span></p>
    <p><span>We will explore whether intelligence is something static, and whether it is just one trait, or many we arbitrarily group together. (I will argue the second).</span></p>
    <p><span>I feel looking at AI helps clarify things a lot that are often murky to talk about.  </span></p>
    <p><span>Finally we will discuss the Chinese room problem, questioning whether consciousness is something separate from intelligence, or just one type of many intelligences we have.}</span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span>The central question is: What is Intelligence, and does AI have intelligence?</span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span>All will take place today; in PAHB 229 from 4-5 pm.</span></p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><span>See you there!</span></p>

          <p><span>Good morning everyone, </span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Today we have got a really great topic outlined!</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Outline for todays discussion:</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Start with main question:</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Is immortality desirable?</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>First exercise (around 5-10 minutes):</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>What is a sandwich?</span></p>
          <p><span>Is a sub a sandwich?</span></p>
          <p><span>Is a hot dog a sandwich?</span></p>
          <p><span>(More questions based on answers)</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Used to emphasize the importance of definitions and being exact</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Second exercise (rest of the meeting):</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Is immortality desirable?</span></p>
          <p><span>Does the answer change based on whether it is just you or everyone gets to be immortal?</span></p>
          <p><span>Does the answer change if it isn't immortality, but extended life, say 200 years, 350 years, 500 years, etc.?</span></p>
          <p><span>Is it responsible to bring children into a world of immortal people?</span></p>
          <p><span>Does immortality imply invulnerability, or does it mean only being able to die by unnatural means (i.e no viruses/disease/ other stuff, but can still be murdered)?</span></p>
          <p><span>Does immortality imply eternal youth?</span></p>
          <p><span>(basically sprinkle these questions in depending on where the conversation goes)</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Come by today in PAHB 229 from 4-5 pm.</span></p>

          <p><span>Happy Monday everyone, today we will be talking about identity. </span></p>
          <p><span>Here is a summary of todays topic:</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Identity is interesting. As humans we constantly define ourselves and others based off a series of labels. What does it take to for a series of traits to become an identity (or a part of one)? What does our own identities mean for us?</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>There is more we can cover about the differences between chosen and assigned identities, how arbitrary labels like astrology fit into it, are we even capable of understanding someone without identity? But that will depend on time and interest!</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>The way we define ourselves affects every waking moment in our lives! </span></p>

          <p><span>In doing so, we will consider what influences anger. These factors include but are not limited to: personal and institutional social situations, political structures, short and long term circumstances, and power dynamics.</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>We will also discuss how anger stems from and morphs into other emotions, and how anger is felt and acted upon differently depending on the factors mentioned above. </span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Finally, we will consider how to manage anger in a way which is productive and healthy for ourselves and others.</span></p>

          <p><span>Today, we will be talking about feelings of hope and despair in relation to politics society and progress, as well as trying to address these questions:</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Is progress inevitable, is another world possible?</span></p>
          <p><span>MLK said “the moral arch of the universe is long but bends torward justice” - but is that really something that can be counted on?</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Many of the early Marxists believed that each form of society was an improvement on the one before it and eventually a truest democratic bottom-up society called socialism would emerge. But is this radical world truly destined to emerge? </span></p>
          <p><span>Will climate change kill us all before these changes could be made? </span></p>
          <p><span>Are we screwed? </span></p>
          <p><span>Does any of it matter?</span></p>
          <p><span>Is progress and a better world inevitable or even possible?</span></p>
          <p><br></p>
          <p><span>Todays discussion is going to be a great refresher from break and will open your minds to new perspectives about the world. </span></p>
