SUMMARY:Coherence\, Consciousness\, and the Human Future with AI ~ Four E
 venings of Readings and Discussion with Author David Waterman Schock
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is becoming part of the environment i
 n which human beings think\, create\, learn\, decide\, and relate. Yet ma
 ny of the most important questions surrounding AI go deeper than capabili
 ty alone.\n\nThis live reading and discussion series explores four connec
 ted questions: What kind of intelligence is AI becoming? What deeper assu
 mptions about mind\, consciousness\, causality\, and reality shape how we
  understand it? How can people distinguish reliable AI reporting from spe
 culation and extrapolation? And why have both the technology and religiou
 s communities often failed to ask the most foundational questions about A
 I?\n\nAcross four Wednesday evenings\, author and coherence researcher Da
 vid Waterman Schock will read from recent books and papers\, including *T
 he AI Consciousness Revolution*\, *The Essential Metaphysics of AI*\, and
  work on the Reporter — Speculation — Extrapolation framework\, followed 
 by open discussion with participants.\n\nThe larger aim of the series is 
 to contribute toward a stable\, truthful\, coherent\, and flourishing hum
 an future with increasingly powerful artificial intelligence.\n\nWednesda
 ys\, October 7\, 14\, 21\, and 28\, 2026  \n7:00–8:00 p.m. Eastern on Zoo
 m  Artificial intelligence is becoming part of the environment in which h
