13 Feb 2018:
PHILOSOPHY and our FUTURE
Hendrik Witmans
Hello everyone,
I'm Hendrik Witmans, your host and moderator for next Tuesday's meeting at Quality Foods about Philosophy and our Future. For those of you who haven't met me at class or the last meeting, I am a science fiction writer, greatly interested, and worried, about our future. Jess has asked me to write something about the meeting on Wiki, and it has taken me all this time to figure out how this site works.
I am certainly not going to post the complete presentation ahead of time. If I did, nobody would show up! I will put it up afterwards, though, for the people who missed the meeting. Here's a hint.
Don't expect a scientific lecture with graphs, photos and documentation. This will just be a plain, common sense discussion about how quantum physics is changing what we have taken for granted all our lives. This change will shake our perception of reality to the core. We may not like it, but it is coming, as more and more people are "waking up".
It is a fairly short presentation, and there will be plenty of time for everyone to discuss, refute, argue, or even ridicule the point I'm going to make. It will also be an opportunity to discuss how we can use these new ideas in our daily lives to create a better future.
Hope this gave you an idea about what to expect, and see you next Tuesday!

DISCUSSION
Please put your comments here!
Jess: The Board room at Qualicum Foods is wonderful! Big comfortable office chairs, good coffee and food right down the hall and through a door, quiet except for the occasional announcement. And no A/V gadgets to distract from genuine F2F discussion. Yea! We had 7 people at this meeting, which is a nice number for freewheeling discussions, but I hope it doesn't fall off much.
