We are meeting at the Piccadilly at Manhattan.

Free form discussion, no specific agenda or materials required.

Here are Benjamin Franklin's discussion prompts:

  1. Have you read anything useful or insightful recently? Particularly in technology, history, literature, science, or other fields of knowledge?
  2. What problems have you been thinking about recently?
  3. Has there been any worthwhile or important local news?
  4. Have any businesses failed lately, and do you know anything about the cause?
  5. Have any businesses recently risen in success, how so?
  6. 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?
  7. Have you been doing anything recently to increase your psychological and physical health?
  8. Is there any person whose acquaintance you want, and which someone in the group can procure for you?
  9. Do you think of anything at present by which the group could easily do something useful?
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
