Adult Discussion Group

March 23   “Consciousness is Fundamental: Space-Time is Doomed”

Some philosophers and scientists argue that consciousness is fundamental because it is a primary, subjective quality of existence (e.g. the taste of chocolate), meaning it cannot be explained by objective physical processes (without hopeful hand waving about emergent properties or an act of faith that science will dissolve the “hard problem”).  Panpsychism proposes that consciousness exists within everything, from atoms to humans to galaxies, and the entire reality we experience is a manifestation of consciousness. Noel Zinn will lead the discussion.

Adult Discussion Group will be meeting in person @ 9:45 AM in Thoreau’s Clark Cabin except on the third Sunday of each month when we will meet in the Sanctuary @ 11 AM.

The AC and HEPA filter will be running to keep Clark Cabin & the Sanctuary as safe as possible.

For those that prefer: We will provide ZOOM via the OWL system when we meet in the cabin & our Moderator Tamara will recognize your hand up and add you to the queue.


Thoreauvians and friends will be notified each week (tuucannounce@groups.io) of our ADG topic, time and zoom login.
Please keep an eye out for our notices.
