Come find out the issues, learn the latest research from psychological studies, and then weigh in with your own thoughts.  Most of this segment will be devoted to your discussion:

• Is free will in any way compatible with modern science?  If so, how?  If not, as the article says, "What does a post-free will society, or rather a post-belief in free will society, look like?
  
• What will this do to theories of crime and punishment?  Is "consequential" punishment preferable to "retributive" punishment?
  
• What are the dangers for a society composed of members who feel less personally accountable for their actions?  
  
• Which is better for society, universal belief in free will or in determinism?  What other "choices" are there?

We'll devote about a half hour to this discussion, then:

PART 2:  LAZY READERS !

For the nosy person who doesn't have time to read it all, but wants to know it all...

Bring whatever you've been reading, and come to discuss that and what everyone else is reading. Subjects can include just about anything: fiction or non-fiction; history, science, humor, psychology, religion, philosophy; books or blogs or articles, etc. Come to talk or come to listen. No pressure, just friendly fun.

Come at 6:45 to grab a salad bar or café supper downstairs or just chat before getting started.

Afterwards: Meet at the nearby Blue Moose for more conversation.
