WHERE ARE WE GOING? on Clubhouse

Description

Many of us are feeling lost right now. This is a space to discuss who we are, how we’ve got here and where we are going.
——-———-———-——— ⏱ NEXT TALK - Wed 14 April 18:00 BST
🔬’WHAT THE NATURAL SCIENCES DO NOT EXPLAIN.’ Should the Maori War Dance, the French Revolution or Beethoven’s string quartets be explained by science? - with Sam Kuypers (physics DPhil at Oxford) & Rupert Read (philosophy prof at UEA). ————————
This club explores the central challenges we face in the 21st century and the ways forward:

❗️How do we save our democracies?  🤔 How do we make sense of our values, from liberty to decency to authenticity?
🎹 🎼 How do we interpret and relate to great classical music masterpieces; what are core musical values?
🌍 How do we effectively communicate the climate crisis?
📚 What is art, and how do we justify it in the age of culture wars?
♿️ How do we talk about disability?
💡And much more.

For questions, suggestions and to collaborate on talks DM @vladvexler.

[The club name invokes Gauguin's revolutionary 1898 masterpiece "Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?", which puts the human condition front and centre - the primitive fire of antiquity brought into the modern world.]
