Friday News Dec 27: Weekly Socials, G4G15 Videos

  • G4G Weekly Socials

    Our weekly Socials are held on Sunday at 1 pm Atlanta time (check the time for you here).

    We are using the Zoom Meeting platform here (not Zoom Webinar as we do for our monthly CoM presentations on the 21st). So for these Sundays socials we will all be able to see each other.

    Upcoming Sessions:

    Sun 29 Dec – David Khan on “Switch Back”

    We welcome theme suggestions for the G4G Weekend Socials. Would you like to lead such a social, perhaps with a fresh look at a favorite Martin Gardner column (or book)? A magic effect you invented? A miscellaneous theme? Please contact us.

    All information can be found here.

  • Sunday Social, Dec 29, Switch Back

    Recall, we recently announced that starting in January, the Sunday socials will switch back to Saturdays, at the same time! We will also take a break from the conjuring theme for the second weekend social of the month. Instead, we will try to address the question “What Would Martin Gardner Do?” in the folloowing sense:

    Martin would be appalled at the lack of basic thinking skills shown by so many people in this age of increasing misformation and uncritical acceptance of propaganda.

    Starting in January, we at G4G will fascilate discussions about this.

    Maybe people could take turns surveying some of MGs exemplary writings on rationality over a 60 year period!

    Let’s continue discussing this proposal this Sunday at 1pm ET (Atlanta time)

    As for past G4Gn videos of the flash talks presented at the Gathering will be shared publicly on the web. We are uploading new videos weekly to our YouTube channel. You can find the latest videos here.

  • G4G Tributes

    It is with sadness that G4G notes the passing of long time G4G community member Adam Atkinson on Dec 8, 2024.

    We continue to update and maintain multiple tribute pages. In this we hope to honour and remember the many who have made the G4G community the remarkable group it is. As well as to inspire and connect those who build on the shoulders of these giants. We welcome and encourage any contribution to these tributes. To share your memories or anecdotes, please email us, support@g4gfoundation.org
