Agenda:

Show up on time if you can, since we have an action-packed (literally!) evening planned. The organizer team has worked hard and is ready to host a fun and very thought-provoking event. The first hour or so is a time to check-in, grab something to eat and drink, and socialize with other members. The rest of the evening will be quite busy :-)
As with some of our more popular events, space is first-come, first-serve. To avoid lines and to guarantee entry, show up early!

“ Great idea! It was fun. I'm looking forward to the next one. Maybe next time we could do have more focused assignments so it's easier to stay on topic. ” -
no show - see about page“ I felt that the event was interesting and from the scenarios we were given opened up lots of different discussions ranging from Politics, religion, sociality, Survival tactics and etc. I think that the scenarios were a little too focused on nuclear war and would have liked to have had different disasters to ponder ” -
“ I can honestly say I have never had so much fun in a room full of philosophers. ” -
“ Had a ton of fun. It was nice to meet new people that were really engaged in the discussion. ” -
“ Thanks for putting it together organizers. Although, I wish the topic was framed better. ” -

Great idea for a meeting. For all those concerned with threats to the very existence of human civilization, I invite you to contribute to the Lifeboat Foundation, which is designed to prevent the end of civilization. They have some of the world's top minds working on the problem. Check it out at www.lifeboat.com
Why not make a donation to help save humanity? What better way to spend your money.
There's never been any true civilisation. Ultimately man's need for power has always prevailed.
OBVIOUSLY: how to grow an economy WITHOUT growing residents. See Japan!
Here's a good article to read in preparation for this meeting -- http://alfin2100.blogspot.com/2008/04/demise-of-civilisat...
The end of the world will come in the form of lemon meringue pies.
The future of "civilization" may depend on the world's ability to survive the catastrophic crash of the US economy and the havoc that will likely be wreaked by the panicked, and likely aggressive, flailings of whichever administration happens to be in power at the time. Will we destroy the word for SUVs and MTV?. Cheery thought.
I'm so not paying back my school loans now 2012 baby 2012!
Do I still have to pay my taxes?
jack, yes they are after you.
Ouch! They blew up Queens (where I live) and they blew up midtown (where I work).
I hope civ doesn't end b4 the meeting!
