ABOUT THE SERIES
In partnership with the Stranger and the Cloud Room, The Goodship Academy of Higher Education presents intimate conversations with some of our regions most brilliant minds, covering topics from space travel to re-animation to modernist cuisine. Our goal is to present some of the most innovative, mind-bending, revolutionary and extraordinary ideas happening in art, technology, science and philosophy. And our intent is that both audience and speakers alike are “on the Goodship” (aka stoned). We look at the world through a different lens when high, and we think that it is a fun and enlightening experiment to partner altered states with big ideas.
The series will be happening in Liz Dunn's new Cloud Room, a casually elegant space perched atop the Chophouse Row Building in the heart of Capitol Hill. Jay Kuehner will be operating the bar for your cocktail and mocktail needs and Michael Hebb will be handling stoner snacks and treats. There is a new baby grand piano which will be twinkled and all are encouraged to lounge.
LECTURE 1
The first lecture will feature Google head of machine intelligence, Blaise Aguera y Arcas. Blaise will be discussing the current state and future direction of artificial intelligence and it's impact on gender relations. Over the next couple of decades, we will see some very exciting and strange things come to pass. Perhaps the most profound, both in its practical implications and for our self-concept, is increasingly capable machine intelligence. We are also seeing some other profound shifts in human identity, including the changing socioeconomic correlates of gender. We'll look together at some recent developments and connections between these two seemingly disparate topics.
Please join us Wednesday, September 16 from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. We ask all guests to arrive “pre-boarded” as it is not yet legal to consume pot in commercial/public spaces. Space is limited and we ask that you reserve your complimentary ticket here. Please know this is a private event. Must be 21+ to attend.
