Literary Liaisons pre-caffination gathering
Thursday Mar 11, 2010
Hosted by Unifex
Welcome!
Welcome to the Christchurch Skeptics in the Pub meetup group. This group is part of a larger, socially orientated group of skeptics. Details at http://skepticsinthepub.net.nz/
"A skeptic is one who prefers beliefs and conclusions that are reliable and valid to ones that are comforting or convenient, and therefore rigorously and openly applies the methods of science and reason to all empirical claims, especially their own. A skeptic provisionally proportions acceptance of any claim to valid logic and a fair and thorough assessment of available evidence, and studies the pitfalls of human reason and the mechanisms of deception so as to avoid being deceived by others or themselves. Skepticism values method over any particular conclusion." - Dr. Steven Novella of The New England Skeptics and The Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast.

"I'll try and make it on time. Cameron is the one that is actually aiming for the 3.30pm arrival. Also, I don't believe there will actually be any book burnings, but it sounded funny in my head when read in context."
