Short Reads Social #13: "Are we post-education?" (Sept 15th)

Short-Read Socials are back! Come meet with like-minded and unlikeminded people to talk about the topic of the month. This time, we're thinking about education. *Are students doomed to be illiterate in the age of AI? Has education become nothing but a business? Is higher education 'worth it' anymore?* --- How does it work?

• The event is casual. You can talk to anyone there with or without our prompt sheets, either about the month's topic or about whatever you want. • Open philosophical discussion, including for controversial topics, is welcome but be respectful:) • If you've read/watched/heard anything related to the topic of the month, feel free to bring it in!
