We have a new online discussion coming up next week Thursday (Feb 13) at 5pm (CET) with Kathryn Nave (https://edwebprofiles.ed.ac.uk/profile/kate-nave).
We'll be talking about her book "A Drive to Survive - the Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life" (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262551328/a-drive-to-survive) and, in particular, why life is all about sensemaking and self-manufacture, not inference.
All welcome! Register here: https://univienna.zoom.us/meeting/register/MNY8_FOGTxOOfiz05WuV8A .
