**ANNOUNCEMENT: For this particular event, we will be using a venue near Paya Lebar MRT. The exact location will be shared with confirmed attendees. This event will also start at 11am instead, so please take note too!** It's been a while, but this is the second part of the introduction to philosophy series we started last November! In the previous session, we discussed about philosophy as an endeavour itself, and what makes a good argument. In this session, things will get a little more in-depth, and serious! We will be discussing about the general topic of consciousness; more specifically, we will be addressing the problems consciousness possibly presents to physicalism (the notion that the nature of the actual world is physical). To help us streamline our discussion, participants for this session will have to read at least two (i.e. compulsory) of the readings we are providing. The first reading is "What is it like to be a Bat" by Thomas Nagel. In this paper, Nagel writes about the subjective nature of consciousness, and why he thinks this poses a challenge to the objective nature of science. The second reading is "What is it like to be Myopic and Boring" by Kathleen Akins. This paper is undeniably, a response to Nagel, and she argues that science can still tell us something, and perhaps help us to define consciousness better. This particular paper is not an easy read, so please take your time with this paper! The two compulsory readings, along with the optional reading (Quining Qualia by Daniel Dennett; this is arguably the most difficult read but it's still worth a try), will lay the groundwork, as well as providing arguments (or objections), for what we aim to discuss on an upcoming lovely Saturday morning. For first timers who have never read academic philosophy papers, don't be worried if you cannot understand some of the jargons and terms philosophers might use! Some Googling will help, otherwise just skim through those terms; we are more than happy to help explain some of them in the session anyway. The session will include a (hopefully) short introduction, before we break up into smaller groups for subsequent discussion. We are however, adamant that participants do read the papers, or the discussions we intend to hold will not be in any manner fruitful. So, please do come prepared (or somewhat prepared), and we look forward to having a fun and fulfilling discussion!

Most of us were told to think critically at school. Almost none of us were taught how. That gap was always there. It's just that now you're making hundreds of decisions a day inside systems specifically designed to exploit it. Feeds that reward reaction over reflection, content that's optimised to feel true rather than be true, and AI that can generate a convincing argument for almost anything. The cost of not thinking carefully has never been higher. Neither has the pressure not to bother. In this discussion, we visit this topic with the intent of simply thinking about it, because we believe this is the first step against a quiet avoidance of a very real problem. ***Some questions we'll be sitting with:*** * When did someone last genuinely change your mind — and what did it take? * Is there a difference between thinking critically and just being difficult? * Are you choosing what to learn based on who you are, or who you think you should be? * How is AI changing the way you think? * Can you think clearly about something you care deeply about? * What would you believe differently if you'd grown up somewhere else? **What to expect** The format is conversational. We sit in a circle. There's a short provocation to open ie a reading, a question, a claim worth disputing. Then we talk. A facilitator keeps things moving and honest. Sessions run two hours. This is Session One. It's free. Seating is intentionally capped at 20 so the conversation stays real. Come with an open mind and connect with like-minded people. **The Postmodern Place** is a monthly discussion community for people who want to engage seriously with ideas. Philosophy, society, culture, the forces shaping how we live. We read carefully, argue honestly, and try to leave with a clearer picture than when we walked in. No academic background required. No prior reading necessary. The only thing you need to bring is a willingness to think out loud with strangers.

Welcome! Gist below! :-) 1. Bring a book to the meet! 2. Buy a drink (and a bite if you're hungry). 3. Say hi to the folks. 4. Read! 5. We'll do a short round of intros and a short sharing at the end too. :) Come in and find us (we're probably the only reading group)! In the event that the place is full, we'll find a back up nearby. :-) This is a limited seats, small group event, so do try to update your RSVP early if your plans change! Thanks in advance!

Besides learning the language, you will also get to make new friends from all around the world. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate and advanced learner, we welcome you. The meetup starts at 4 pm. We will try our best to arrange seating at this time so that each group has expert Mandarin speakers. If you come later than 4.10 pm we cannot guarantee ideal seating. Seating priorities will be given to those who signed up. **欢迎会说华语/普通话的朋友** 我们非常欢迎会说华语/普通话的朋友来参加我们这个华语/普通话练习小组，帮助来自世界各地的朋友学习华语/普通话。 *** GETTING THERE Take Downtown (blue) Line or Circle (yellow) Line to Promenade MRT. Take Exit C at Promenade MRT, and go up to level 3. LOCATING US INSIDE THE FOOD COURT Look for a round tables section near the wall of the food court away from the stalls. You can drop the Event Host a message if you are lost. NO COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES We welcome anyone who is keen to learn a language or help others learn the language. However, this is NOT the platform for individuals who have other intentions, such as recruiting members for their business or organization or selling products or services. We will not hesitate to ask such individuals to stop attending our meetups.

Catching their happy hour deal (1 for 1 cocktails and 10++ salmon don / chirashi bowl). We'll do as much reading as we feel up to that evening! ;) This is a limited seats, small group event, so do try to update your RSVP early if your plans change! Thanks in advance Nearest MRT: Orchard MR

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
