Knowledge and Memory
I went to see Memento last nite with Nerd Fun. It's one of those movies that gets better every time you see it. I think it'd be interesting to discuss memory, how it's fallible and malleable, whether an objective reality ... Read moreof the past matters if you can't mentally access it, how you can tell if someone knows something if they want you to think they don't, etc. Perhaps we could watch the movie independently, or as a group somehow (too bad I found out about the showing at the Harvard Archive too late). Or just delve into the whole topic of epistemology and its relationship to reality.

Fall folliage and Mass MoCA visit on Saturday, October 2nd.
I have set a place holder for a trip to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts. But I have Good news and Bad news...
Bad news is: Mass MoCA is about 2.5 hours from my place (about 3 hours from Davis Square. Yikes!)
The good one is: ... Read moreout west, leaves are going to be turning around that time of the year and it should be a great time to venture that way, take pictures, and realize that the world does not end outside I-128 loop.
So, to gauge interest, I'm posting here first. I will turn it into an IM event closer to the date.
Just so you know that I'm a total geek, there is an exhibit that I really want to see: Photography work by Leonard Nimoy (Spock, from Star Trek TOS) Yes, photography is an art! Who would have thunk it?

7/8: The Price of Altruism: George Price & Search for the Origins of Kindness

Story Night
Heard this the other day as an idea for a group event: Story night...we can bring our favorite story, tell a story, make up a story...(like the game 'telephone' except not whispering)...sping a story...etcetc.
Also, I would ... Read morelove to discuss the book "City of Joy" by Dominique Lapierre...and discuss the issue of poverty in the world..where do our loyalties lie? Can we afford to help the world or should we take care of our own citizens first? Or, are citizens of the world and whatever touches our heart is what we should do? I loved the book and have written to the author to thank him for what he does and he wrote back!! -
What's Up With This Meetup Thing Anyhow?
In 2001, Scott Heiferman, Matt Meeker and Peter Kamali started a website called Meetup.com. They took the burgeoning phenomenon of online social interaction and brought it home to real in-person venues.
And you know the rest of the story ... Read more. In cities across the nation (most notably infamously hard-to-meet-people cities like Boston), communities of people are opening their arms to each other in welcoming special interest groups, and exploding into a social community that has summarily smashed long standing barriers of entry. With the click of a mouse, you suddenly have 20 friends to dine out with, bike/hike/go to movies with, or discuss worldly and intellectual ideas.
What's up with that? Why does it work? Why should people who otherwise would never open their arms to strangers suddenly treat them as instant compatriots?
And is there a future? Is this an ephemeral thing, destined to fizzle into the usual social divisiveness and exclusivity? Or have we started a revolution?
Let's delve in!
