It's not WHAT you THINK It's HOW you THINK
We're really looking forward to welcoming David Edmonds to Brighton tomorrow night to discuss his new book, which traces the history of Peter Singer's controversial 1972 thought experiment and the birth of Effective Altruism

What if saving a life was as simple as wading into a shallow pond?
Join philosopher David Edmonds as he uncovers how one radical idea sparked the movement of effective altruism and changed how we think about doing good.

We had an insightful evening with James Bloodworth, delving into the 'manosphere' and how it operates - a sales funnel for opportunists and grifters - the deeper one went, the life style being sold shifted from impressing women to ultimately impressing other men.

We had a packed house last night as Daniel Yon discussed his new book, A Trick of the Mind. Using visual and audial illusions he demonstrated how the brain is just like a scientist trying to make sense of the world, and not necessarily always getting it right!
