HOW DO WE LIVE INTO WHAT IS GOOD? And now for the denouement... Till this point in our series, "How to Survive the Coming AI Utopocalypse", we have talked, debated, read, contended, shouted, and sung (okay, maybe that was just Jamin) on essential questions: what does it mean to be human? What is the purpose of our work? What is the nature of nature? But in every discussion, something massive has been assumed: that we all agree on what is Good, and can therefore stand on level ground when it comes to questions of Humanity, Place, or Meaning. The only problem is... we don't. While we would fall woefully short of an exhaustive definition of the Good that all would agree upon (or, heck, a definition at all), "for us, there is only the trying", and in the trying, we may find that the words of C.S. Lewis ring true: "there are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind". “Utopocalypse 6: Lewis // Goodness” is an evening to discuss, explore, debate, and pursue the Good by way of two texts: one modern (C.S. Lewis's "The Magician's Nephew"), one ancient (Augustine's "Confessions"). We'll have an evening of lively discussion, libations, debate, and readings aloud as continue our salon series: How to Survive the Coming AI Utopocalypse[0]. This event is *free* for Tillage members, $35 for non-members.
