We are living (or scrolling and prompting) through another technological revolution just as, if not more, significant than the industrial revolution and the atomic age. How? Join us for this 6 week series exploring the who, what, how, why and oh no on AI! Presented by AI Safety Symposiums [AISS} - we facilitate community conversations exploring AI risk - expect participatory discussions, hands on tech and foundational knowledge building and lots of deep explorations on the latest on AI research, development and risk.

What is Not a Set Doctrine?
https://linktr.ee/notasetdoctrine
Not A Set Doctrine' is an alternative education program in Naarm for all peoples of all ages.
Education is one of the key drivers to developing social change to improve the lives of the masses. Education can be the facilitator of transforming society if it is analytical, dialectic, individualised and expressive. Although anarchy has no set doctrine; despite some shared principals, it is a perspective that changes with each individual. The same is true of education.
We have seen the current schooling system effectively hinder independent and critical thought. This is purposefully done to ensure a society that is unwilling or unable to challenge the authoritative structure.
Arthur Evans writes:
"Modern schools and universities push students into habits of depersonalized learning, alienation from nature and sexuality, obedience to hierarchy, fear of authority, self-objectification, and chilling competitiveness."
Current Australian higher education uses students as “human capital” rather than learners pursuing knowledge. They mould students into capitalist consumers submissive to the oppression and domination.
Not a Set Doctrine classes encourage students to engage in information with their intellect, their emotion and their social self. This is an unlikely experience in the usual alienation of formal education settings. It is however an integral aspect of our pedagogy as we critically engage in discussions with students with knowledge that is not limited to theory. Students and teachers share knowledge and experiences horizontally. That is, when a student speaks, we listen with the same interest as when a teacher speaks. The teacher is there to instigate new ideas and conversations and not prescribe a set notion of ideologies.
Not a Set Doctrine runs weekly, every Tuesday night from 6 - 8PM
