Is it really up to you to decide to come or not? This meeting revisits a classic Freethought topic:
Free Will
Does it exist? What is it? What are the implications of knowing it exists/doesn't exist?
Get ready for an intense debate - I know some people in GF are pretty hardcore one way or the other.
It is STRONGLY ...recommended that you at least read the wikipedia article on Free Will before coming to the meeting - it contains a lot of the concepts and terms that people are going to bring up, and it will definitely do everyone some good to have some kind of basic knowledge, so that everyone can better partake in discussion.
Be familiar with the differences between libertarianism, hard determinism, and compatibilism if you want to be able to hit the ground running.
At the beginning of the meeting there will be a 10-15 minute presentation going over the different schools of thought, so that everyone will be very clear on what we're talking about.
This is gonna be really fun! Hope to see you there everyone.
