21.01.2022 Dear Friends, Yesterday we trialled Zoom! After a few bugs were sorted, we managed to conduct the Seminar without a hitch. We are very pleased that Robert Farrell has offered to present the next Seminar, to be held at 11 AM on Saturday 2 May. Robert is a philosopher and mathematician. He lectured at La Trobe University for many years, where I was one of his undergraduate students in the mid 70s. He has also lectured in Mathematics in the United Kingdom and in Kazakhstan.... Whether we will once again use Zoom, or meet in person, will depend on what happens in respect to the virus crisis. Ill let you know in due course. Robert will be presenting the work of Carl Jung. He has recommended that we undertake some homework if we would like to be better prepared for what will be discussed. This is not necessary of course, but Im sure that you will find Jungs material fascinating! Recommended viewing/listening: Face to Face - Carl Gustav Jung 1959 Approaching the Unconscious Man and His Symbols Memories Dreams Reflections Stay well.

11.01.2022 Thought for the day from Krishnamurti. Explains why some of the most unintelligent people on earth are professors and lecturers and research students in univers...ities. But its a well kept secret unless you work in one, then it hits you in the face. That said, in amongst them are some really intelligent people. So...as Woody Allen said, its like anything else.

07.01.2022 "Arguments about the Repugnant Conclusion have not ceased because Derek Parfit is no longer here to contribute to them, and it seems unlikely that everyone will... accept his solutions to the problems they raise. However, what mattered to Derek was not just getting moral philosophers to agree, but ensuring that their arguments could help us to understand the reasons we have to do what needs doing, to ensure the survival of humanity, reduce global poverty and fulfil our potential as a species, and, through this understanding, lead us to achieve these goals."
