Howdy Peeps,
This Thursday, we will be discussing antifragility in the context of free speech & public discourse; in our democratic society, do we want a society that punishes problematic ideas, or one that claims that we should engage with them? We’ll be discussing this question, and more, in our upcoming meeting.
If you’re interested in some reading on this topic ahead of the meeting, I’d recommend the following resources:
- ‘Harvesting Luck: Nassim Taleb on Concept of Antifragile’ from Stanford University Management Science and Engineering
- ‘Forced examination: How the free speech of others benefits us all’ from Big Think
- Clip of David Axelrod & Van Jones speaking at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics
As always, we’ll meet on Thursday (8pm to 9pm ET) at Alumni Hall 200.
To stay in touch with the rest of the organisation, remember to join our GroupMe, our mailing list, and follow our Instagram.
Kind regards,
Emil
