Café Inquiry Muskegon – Satisfying Our Intellectual Curiosity

May 11, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

New Venue – Lake Effect Bistro and Lounge, Shoreline Inn, 750 Terrace Point Dr., Muskegon

Humans are naturally curious. Furthermore, many of us in the right circumstances are intellectually curious – seeking a wide range of knowledge relating to various fields of study. But how do we satisfy this thirst for learning? We’d love to hear about your areas of interest, and by what means you satisfy your intellectual curiosity. Podcasts? Documentaries? Online courses or videos? Books? Specialized magazines or journals? This could be a good opportunity to learn about new sources of information from your fellow seekers of knowledge! On a related note, suppose there were an AI system we could easily tap into that could not only provide the answer to any question we asked, but could also perform tasks for us. Kind of like Siri or Alexa on steroids. What might be the challenges of all or most people having access to this system, and how might it be regulated? Join us as we discuss these topics and whatever else happens to arise in the course of the evening!

Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.

This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.

Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.

Café Inquiry (Muskegon) meets each month on the second Thursday.

Michigan Humanists values the participation of all guests — requests for reasonable accommodation may be made by contacting the event host at least three days prior to the event.

Michigan Humanists expects all guests to engage in respectful discussion. Critiques on views and claims based on merit are allowed, but not attacks on individuals who hold other perspectives.

Any person engaging in disruptive behavior or harassment will be asked to leave, and may be banned from future events pending the severity of the action. Please speak to the event host or contact info@michiganhumanists.org if you feel these expectations are being violated.
