Start: 2017-10-14T14:30:00+10:00

Location: Brisbane Square Library

Future Thinkers in a monthly event where we discuss topics related to: Science, Technology, Nature and Sustainability. As you can imagine this is quite open-ended. A wide variety of topics end up being discussed. Topics we have covered in the past include: cryptocurrency & blockchain technology, environmental sustainability, internet freedom, economic inequality, universal basic income & technological unemployment, direct democracy, evolution, artificial intelligence and more!

No topic need be too sacred. No idea above questioning. The point of this meetup is not only to hang out with like minded people and have fun on a Saturday night ;) but also to learn something new and to genuinely intellectually explore ideas. This means taking offense isn’t adequate grounds for objecting to an idea. Your ideas and worldview will be challenged. But it is all in the spirit of fun and getting closer to the truth not about being right or wrong.

Each event includes:

Presentations and videos clips on the chosen topic. This is to provide information and to stimulate discussion.

The point of the event is to have a real discourse on the chosen topic through open discussion.

If you’re getting a bit squeamish thinking this event is going to be super serious then relax it’s fun and all people and ideas are welcome. :)

This month’s topic is ‘Critical Thinking and the Scientific Method’.

Epistemology is the study of truth, but how do know what is true. By what methodology should we come to believe something is true? And how do we distinguish falsehood from truth?

Is there an objective truth or what is true is what most people belief?

We live in unprecedented times in many aspects, perhaps none more game changing than our access to information. Couple this with an economic system that has an inherent incentive to lie to you through advertising and a need for everyone to gain a competitive differential advantage over you economically, it is understandable why people don’t know what to believe anymore.

If you wish to participate in a riveting discussion about critical thinking and the scientific method or you just want to sit at the back and listen, Future Thinkers in on every 2nd Saturday in the Brisbane Square Library’s Theatrette (Ground Floor) starting at 2:30pm and going late into the evening ending up in a bar or restaurant.

See you there! :)
