Jonathan A. Smith replied to Jonathan A. Smith's discussion 'Topics and Video' in the group Philosophy Movie Night

When I reflected on Kate's comment a bit, I realized that more interesting to me than the existence (or non-existance) of God, is how people conceive of God. I tend to be attracted to more pantheistic versions, and skeptical of a supernatural concep…

Sounds interesting although I worry such a focus would lead to a debate on the existence of God... an unproductive discussion that does not lead to enlightenment.

I was thinking about starting with some video about concepts of free will and the relationship between intention (or design) and evolutionary processes.

Welcome to Cedar Island News

Cedar Island is a small, quiet, Second Life community for people who are involved in research or creative projects and are interested in sharing and discussing their work. The area consists of two adjoined islands designed by Jon Seattle with the help of Moon Adamant to resemble a US pacific northwest coastal village. The north island, Sea Turtle island, hosts Second Life's Quaker meeting house, the new Music Island, and is used as a laboratory for educational projects.

Residents are involved in projects that involve self-education and share their work by giving two talks or hosting two events each calendar quarter and setting up a poster or display in the community gallery. Resident projects are artistic, professional, or academic. Group projects, especially among residents, are encouraged.

Cedar Island is run by its residents using consensus decision making. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision-making, especially "Quaker Model" for information on this process.) The resident meeting meets monthly to decide on membership and community policy.

New members subject to approval..

So as to end the wave of spamers we have had recently, I've set the group so that I have to approve members before they can join. We should discuss how to collectively manage this process at the next meeting. For the time being I will approve anyone who provides information about who they are and their interest in Cedar. Thanks!
