Active Thinkers For & Against

 
 
 

[Note: This live meetup will be repeated as a Zoom meetup scheduled for Tuesday 7 June 2022]

Focus Questions

1. The answers you get in life depend upon the questions you ask ... Agree or disagree? Exceptions?

2. What kinds of questions do you ask personally? Do you ask nested questions? Do you ask questions that seek answers to general principles and patterns, or are your questions purely of a personal survival & comfort kind?

3. People prone to conspiracy theories do see patterns and ask questions about the patterns. Why do they wind up with non-credible answers? [Of course, sometimes there are conspiracies which really are conspiracies. We have laws about those, especially in business law).

4. What is a STEM-type question set you don't know the answer to? How would you formulate such questions? How would you go about looking for an answer? ["STEM" = science-technology-engineering-math. Example: Lead question: How can solar energy be captured 24 hours a day?]

5. What is an Education-type question set you don't know the answer to? How would you formulate such questions? How would you go about looking for an answer? [Example: lead question - Why do some people learn languages effectively, while others never seem to succeed?]

6. What is a Life journey-type question set you don't know the answer to? How would you formulate such questions? How would you go about looking for an answer? [Example: lead question - What is a successful life? ]

7. Explain your notion of how classical scientific method works.

8. How does classical scientific method differ from faith or magical thinking.

9. Why do you think AI might be a threat to classical scientific method, and a boost to faith based choices? (What kind of faith?}

10. Can a machine or an AI system ask a question? If so, how would its question types differ from human sourced questions?
