The Synapse Salon is a newly formed book and discussion group loosely themed around the mind/brain and the science and philosophy related to them. We will be meeting on the 1st Thursday of each month from 7:30-9:00pm, in the library at UUC and on zoom. For our first meeting, on October 3, we will be discussing Sam Harris' book The Moral Landscape, in which he argues that not only should science and scientists not defer to faith leaders when it comes to determining what is moral/ethical, but that science provides the best means to determine this, and that by sidelining themselves in such discussions, the secular/science "side" of society is doing a grave injustice to the world as a whole that is leading to its ruin.
