About this Groundfloor Gathering

Mind Jam is a monthly gathering where curious people riff on important questions, challenge assumptions, and sharpen each other’s thinking.
Not a panel. Not a lecture. Not a debate.
Just a jam session — for minds.

Each month, we take on a timely or timeless question with the help of speakers and stewards who guide the conversation and draw out ideas that might otherwise get lost. Expect nuance, depth, disagreement — and the freedom to change your mind.

We’re kicking things off with:
- Can AI Be Conscious?
- Is consciousness just complexity?
- Could machines ever really feel?
- And even if not — should we treat them as if they could?

📄 This summary sheet is where we’re tracking a loose outline of the conversation: bit.ly/46U9PZh. It’s not a script, but a guide to help us build from common ground.

Whether you want to speak, moderate, or just vibe with the conversation, fill out the form to share your take, recommend a reading, podcast, or video, and help us build something worth coming back to.
