We are meeting at the Piccadilly at Manhattan.
Free form discussion, no specific agenda or materials required.
Here are Benjamin Franklin's discussion prompts:
- Have you read anything useful or insightful recently? Particularly in technology, history, literature, science, or other fields of knowledge?
- What problems have you been thinking about recently?
- Has there been any worthwhile or important local news?
- Have any businesses failed lately, and do you know anything about the cause?
- Have any businesses recently risen in success, how so?
- Do you know of anyone, who has recently done something interesting, praiseworthy or worthy of imitation? Or who has made a mistake we should be warned against and avoid?
- Have you been doing anything recently to increase your psychological and physical health?
- Is there any person whose acquaintance you want, and which someone in the group can procure for you?
- Do you think of anything at present by which the group could easily do something useful?
- Do you know of any deserving younger person, for whom it lies in the power of the group to encourage and help advance in his career?
- Do you see anything amiss in the present customs or proceedings of the group, which might be amended?

We have a reservation for 8 at 1pm. I am wearing a blue tshirt, that says 'nihilist', a copy of Unsong, and an infant strap.
Come even if you feel nervous or shy. We will have fun, good conversation.
I have been reading and thinking about the ontology of chance, what makes a good introduction to chemistry, and the St. Louis County Charter.
