Check out our mini-events in the Nook this week. Discuss the news during Monday’s Media Breakdown and try out some meaning of life stuff on Existential Tuesdays.

Another Existential Tuesday discussion! Consider the possibility that you might be a machine, or try to prove the opposite. Use logic, science, common sense, personal insight, or whatever you can bring to the table for an intimate philosophical conversation in the Nook.
