We’d like to highlight a couple of Zoom events this weekend from the worldwide anthroposophical movement. This Saturday Nov. 13th we have a lecture by the director of the Christian Community seminary in Stuttgart which will be simultaneously translated into English, Italian and Portugese, translated from his native Spanish. From what we’re hearing, Mariano Kasanetz (the Seminary director) is very good at speaking about spiritual matters using accessible language.
And on Sunday Nov. 14th Mystech is presenting part one of a two-part series on computers, what they can and can’t do. Mystech is a anthroposophical group dedicated to exploring the intersection between spirituality and technology, based in the United States. Details on that event can be found in the second part of this post.
The links below are for the Nov. 13th lecture, and below those is some info about the Mystech session.

The Turing Machine – What Computers Can and Cannot Do
A Two Part Webinar Series Starting this coming Sunday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 pm Eastern Time
Please join MysTech and our guest speaker Valdemar W. Setzer as we explore the following questions in this two part webinar series:
Can machines think and be intelligent? We have the Turing Test and its extensions – is this adequate? Can machines ever have sensations and feelings? How can something non-physical act physically without violating physical laws? Is the human being a machine?
Prof. Val Setzer will try to answer these questions by exploring the Turing Machine, the Decidability Problem, and the Halting Problem. He will lead us to the issues of the “singularity“, man-machine symbiosis, and transhumanism.
THIS IS A 2 PART WEBINAR:
Nov. 14: The Turing Machine and what computers can and cannot do. Overcoming our fears.
Jan. 9, 2022: AI: Artificial Intelligence or Automated Imbecility? Can machines think and feel?
