Friday’s Breakfast Salon will be facilitated by Jmill

Friday’s topic: Deep Utopia

Shallow Utopia - Post-scarcity achieved largely via efficient resource allocation, most current coordination problems solved to equilibrium but no Holodeck-style 'Computer make this object for me'

Deep Utopia - True solution for post-scarcity, anything can be created for you at the speed of thought, Matrix-style wireheading is possible (plugging into the infinite, overwhelming pleasure machine with no awareness you're there)

This is a casual, low-stakes salon you can join while enjoying breakfast at Chef's Together! Each morning, we'll introduce a different topic for discussion over your meal. At the end or before you leave, you're invited to contribute some words or graphics to my notebook. You can write a word, make a quick doodle, or add anything that represents your thoughts on the topic. Feel free to drop in or leave at any time — no string attached!

We (Lucy, Jmill and Marina) started this series because we wanted to avoid the pressure of small talk or finding someone to share a table with during breakfast. However, we still believe breakfast is a great time to chat with others. If you're like us and enjoy meaningful conversations without the social pressure, please join us!
