In the last of the reading group sessions Marco V. Morelli mentioned that he wanted to get more out of the livecalls in terms of discussion, as it relates to specific chapters and the content of Aurobindos ideas. People differ a lot in their experience with the text and bring different perspectives to the discussion, so its natural that a wide range of topics can be connected to it, from Ai to current evolutionary theory, and its fun to do so as long it doesn’t sidetrack to much from the text. So in order to collectively have a better learning experience I would like to open up a thread for suggestions on how to maybe better structure the hangouts to get the most out of it.
