When: 7:30pm - 9:30pm Wednesday, November 2nd.
Notice that this is 30 minutes later than usual!
Where: The Westside Tavern in the upstairs Wine Bar, located inside the Westside Pavillion on the second floor, right by the movie theaters.

Topic: This week we will explore ethics and morality. Our meeting will almost immediately follow the talk The 'Objective' Basis for Morality by Dr. Alan Fiske at UCLA, hosted by the Bruin Atheists.
Recommended Reading:
- What is Metaethics?
- Shut up and multiply - check out the articles linked from here.
- If you want extra reading on FAI, read the paper introducing CEV.
Whether you're a regular reader or totally new, here for the theoretical musings or the practical things, come by and say hello! The conversation is largely unstructured and casual, and the people are awesome.
I will bring a whiteboard with Bayes' Theorem written on it.

I recommend people also check out Peter Hurford. He has some pretty clear writing on the subject. Here is the first entry.
