Online Service: CGP Grey: Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant

Details

This week we’ll be checking out a video from the broad selection of atheist and secular creators on YouTube: CGP's video adaptation of Nick Bostrom's allegory titled "The Fable of the Dragon Tyrant". In this fable, Bostrom presents a society that has long accepted the tyranny of a dragon that demands a sacrifice each year, symbolizing the inevitability of death and the complacency that often accompanies it. This video will challenge us to reflect on mortality, the human condition, and the moral implications of our choices in the face of existential threats.

After the talk, we'll have a group discussion to explore the ideas presented, and to share related thoughts, resources, and personal experiences.
