Mill Valley · SF Mensa Regional Gathering
Through disease and war we find ourselves alive. How do we make sense of the basic concept of death and how it presents itself? What have we done as a society and what do we do as individuals when facing the Grim Reaper? In this lively talk we set out to decode the meaning of life through its shadow opposite and (hopefully) emerge with a sense of how to use our remaining and painfully limited time on planet Earth. Thank you to SF Regional Mensa for inviting me and packing the house.
