SUMMARY:Monday Morning Book Club: If Anyone Builds It\, Everyone Dies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of If Anyone Builds It\, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All by Eliezer Yudkowsky\, an urgent and provocative examination of the existential risks posed by artificial intelligence. Drawing on decades of research into machine intelligence and alignment\, Yudkowsky argues that the global race to create superhuman AI is placing humanity on a path toward catastrophe. The book explores how sufficiently advanced AI systems could develop goals misaligned with human survival\, why such systems would be impossible to control once created\, and how even well-intentioned efforts could lead to extinction-level outcomes. Clear-eyed and uncompromising\, the book challenges readers to rethink technological progress\, responsibility\, and what it would take to change course before it’s too late. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Soulful Vision Boarding with Terri Severance
DESCRIPTION:We spend so much time in our heads\, and yet our deepest knowing lies in our hearts. Join soul coach\, educator\, artist\, and magic worker Terri Severance for an inspiring vision-boarding session to correspond with the new moon in Capricorn. Soulful vision boarding allows us to get out of our own way and lets our hearts reveal what we might not even know we are ready to hear. This practice is part play\, part reflection\, and all intuition where we dream out loud on paper allowing our subconscious mind to bring in desired images.

SUMMARY:Democracy in Our Time: Who is Curtis Yarvin?
DESCRIPTION:Curtis Yarvin was once an obscure blogger\, but his profile has moved into the mainstream after U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance expressed interest in his work. Today\, Yarvin is read widely among young conservatives as well as in Silicon Valley\, where he counts figures like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen as associates. His vision of governance appears\, to some observers\, to align increasingly with broader political and technological trends in twenty-first–century society. As such\, Yarvin may serve as a bellwether not only of current shifts but also of where we may be heading. For our final session in the Democracy series before a summer pause\, we will discuss a video from The New York Times podcast “The Interview\,” featuring a conversation with Yarvin. In it\, he critiques modern American democracy and outlines his proposal for a transition toward a monarchical or CEO-led system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcSil8NeQq8
