We are now less than 2 weeks away from not just a new year, but from a new decade. There is an interesting argument that this will be not only an interesting and important decade, but that it could the single most important decade in human history.

Why the 2020s my be the most important decade in human history

Come and find out why. (Let's ignore the debate for now about whether the decade starts in 2020 or 2021).

General Description:This is the most interesting and important time to be alive in the history of the human race! Mike Ignatowski works in the hi-tech industry and has given many lectures on emerging technology and social trends. Starting this fall, he will host an educational and provocative series of monthly meetings at Wildflower exploring many interesting issues related to the future of our society. Sample topics will include: "Big History and Big Future", technology and unemployment, the evolution of increased cooperation, growth and sustainability, our moral instincts, and the implications of artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. The meeting format will include a presentation followed by a group discussion.

The meetings are intended to be very educational, so there is no need for prior knowledge or preparation for any of these meetings. The monthly topics will be posted prior to each meeting, and people are invited to attend any or all of the meetings as their schedule and interests permit.
