Meet Up: Melbourne social meetup

toner 14 August 2012 05:26AM

WHEN: 24 August 2012 07:00:00PM (+1000)

WHERE: Ben's house; see mailing list, Carlton VIC 3053, Australia

Melbourne's next social meetup is on Friday 24th August, 6:30 for 7pm, at my house. If you have any trouble working out the location or getting in, you can call me on 0412 996 288 or Scott (shokwave) on 0432 862 932.

We'll get some snakes and organise some form of take-away for dinner. BYO drinks and games.

We always look forward to meeting new people!

This meetup is usually on the third Friday of the month.

If you're free this Friday (the 17th), Adam suggests that you consider attending http://2012.singularitysummit.com.au/other-activities/randal-koene-and-mark-pesce-at-embiggen-books/ (but remember to book!), perhaps followed by dinner in the city.

I promised some follow up on Orca (Killer Whale) intelligence.

I'd suggest starting with a couple of extensive documents, one historic and close to home and the other contemporary and global. Neither talk directly about "Intelligence" which only makes their evidence more persuasive to anyone who accepts the uncomfortable fact that h.s.s. is not the purpose of evolution.
