What we’re about
Welcome to Adelaide Shallow Thinkers meetup (https://www.meetup.com/adelaide-shallow-thinkers/ )
Adelaide Shallow Thinkers topics aim for genial conversation, and need not be too serious. They do not expect any preparation before the meetup.
AST meetups at the moment are scheduled on every second Tuesday evening from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Wednesdays are deliberately chosen as a quiet day.
The venue will be close to Adelaide CBD, probably a pub. You will need to at least buy a drink; (non drinkers note that zero alcohol beers – e.g. Carlton Zero -have become quite popular now).
The meetup will ask for a donation of $2 each time. This helps Thor cover the meetup.com subscription of about A$160 every six months. Pay by cash or Pay ID to the organizer’s number: 0479 154 831.
Note : Adelaide Shallow Thinkers meetup is a little brother to Active Thinkers For & Against meetup ( https://www.meetup.com/activethinkers/ ) which has been running since 2011 and now occurs on Zoom.
Active Thinkers meetups are scheduled on Zoom for 1:30-3:30 pm on the Saturday following Shallow Thinkers Wednesday evening live meetups.
Both Active Thinkers and Shallow Thinkers run the same topic concurrently. However Active Thinkers participants need to do a bit of preparation to achieve depth of discussion. The Active Thinkers topic comes with 10 detailed talking points a reading list in the 'comments' section of the meetup.com website. Shallow Thinkers topics expect no preparation.
Hope to see you soon.
Best wishes, Thor

Background: David Sinclair, a Harvard professor, has developed an "information theory of aging". He claims that the DNA in each body cell, and in mitochondria, has a perfect backup copy. A messenger molecule, NAD, constantly restores the working DNA from the backup. NAD levels decline with age. By restoring NAD levels the organism can live forever. He has done this with mice. Human trials are pending.
