**RE:SET — Under One Sky \| Dubai Opera Experience** RE:SET is a one-night immersive live experience designed as a collective pause from the fast pace of everyday life in Dubai. Taking place at Dubai Opera, the evening brings together a carefully curated blend of stand-up comedy, live singers, storytelling, creators, and surprise performances — all woven into one continuous, high-energy yet meaningful journey. As the night unfolds, guests will move through different forms of entertainment, from laughter and live vocals to immersive moments designed to bring people together. The experience then builds towards a final celebration with a live DJ set, creating an uplifting closing atmosphere inside Dubai Opera. After everything that has recently been felt across the city, RE:SET is about coming together again — bringing people under one sky and one shared voice, through energy, connection, and experience. This is not a traditional concert or show. RE:SET is built as an experience — designed for people to disconnect, reset, and enjoy a shared night of sound, emotion, and presence. The evening also includes a dedicated interval, with drinks and food available, giving guests time to relax, meet new people, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Opera space. RE:SET is about connection, presence, and shared experience — a space where strangers become part of the same moment under one roof, under one sky. Whether you come with friends or on your own, the intention is simple: step out of routine for one night and experience something different.

If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!
