**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!

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

The Challenge is to skate as much as you can during this pandemic each week. And see how we rank on leaderboard of Strava. The ranking is arranged by most distances skated each week. Do join us through on Strava App below: Leaderboard updates on a weekly basis and resets every week (Mon to Sun) Join us at https://www.strava.com/clubs/freewheelers_sg (Kindly note that with specifically the Strava app, it is unable to cater for Inline skating option, so you will have list your tracking via run or ride for your ranking to show up in leaderboard. And this is the main challenge majority of skaters will be using.) Feel feel to contact Janice on Meetup if you need help with the apps to join us on these virtual skating challenges. You can also ask Janice for link to join a telegram group where impromptu small group skating events are frequently organized if you are looking for skating buddies.

**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.
