Is AI helping you think, or thinking for you?
AI tools promise to help us think faster, decide better, and stay ahead.
However, as more of our writing, planning, and even remembering becomes assisted, what parts of thinking are we outsourcing - at what point does AI stop helping, and start hindering us from thinking? What might that be doing to us, and the next generation?
Come challenge your assumptions with Jason Legge.
Co-founder and all-terrain storyteller at Moah Studio, Jason has led award-winning work for global brands like Nike, adidas, Meta, and Google, earning multiple Cannes Lions, a Peabody, and three Canadian Screen Awards.
When asked what he wishes more people would do, he returns to Socrates’ line: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
An evening when slow bar meets reality check, this session explores the trade-offs of an increasingly AI-assisted life - equal parts sharing, discussion, and the occasional “wait… do I make sense?”.

P.S.
Do consider using PayNow as a payment method for less processing fees on SoCrates so we can ensure the amount goes towards dinner, printing materials, platform usage, and other misc. expenses as Stripe and Luma take 12-15% of total ticket price. We hope to see you there!
