This week, we'll be talking about issues of rationality and skepticism in modern medicine. I'll lead off with a brief presentation about supplementary, complementary, and alternative medicine (also known as SCAM.)
After a brief tangent in to why everyone should hate the great state of Oregon followed by a foray in to evidence-based medicine, universal health-care, and other issues of public policy, discussion will commence.
Tuesday, November 3, 2009, begins at 7:00 pm (Please arrive at 6:50)

At this week's meeting we will focus on The God Virus by Darrel Ray. He is coming to speak to our club this Friday at 7pm in 220 Wheeler! Ursula will be giving a presentation on his book, followed by a discussion where we can come up with questions to ask him when he visits.
Additionally, there were anti-abortionists with graphic signs on Sproul today, so we'll try to slip in some discussion about that too. We may want to discuss how we can respond rapidly to religious rallies/protests in the future (specifically hyper-religious things, not necessarily anti-abortionist).
Also, Facebook revamped a lot of their site, so check out our group, it's much more useful now.

This week's meeting will be short series of mini-presentations and a discussion about indoctrination of all kinds!
If you open your heart to our meeting you will leave with a warm fuzzy feeling and an unwavering conviction that indoctrination is evil.

We said this week's meeting would be a pasta party, but it is not something we could throw together in a week given the state of room assignments. Sorry for any disappointment this may cause; we still plan to have a pasta party later this semester.
At the meeting tomorrow we will begin with a quick game involving quotations, and then we will have an enlightening presentation from Jey on Transhumanism, which will be followed by a lively discussion!
"I'll be talking a bit about the movement called transhumanism, but we'll also be considering and discussing what desirable futures are from the point of view of the scientifically-grounded non-believer.
Each religion prescribes an answer to these questions, but what about those of us who aren't content with a view of the future taken from mythology? What constitutes a desirable future, and how do we get there?"
-Jey Kottalam
This will all be followed by dinner at Racha's on Telegraph and Dwight! We made sure to ask for separate checks in advance (Hooray!).
