Some Themes we have discussed

Past Thinkers' Dinner themes have included:

• Counter-intuitive Statistics
• Ridiculous Explanations
• Pointless Instructions
• Significant Numbers
• Unintended Consequences
• Predictive Literature
• A Failure of Reason
• Words Fail Me
• Curious Revolutions

The Theme for Thinkers' Dinner XI, on 17th November 2010, was Historical Truth

The Theme for the Thinkers' Special Dinner on 25th January 2011 was Burns Night

Thinkers' Dinner XII, on 8th February 2011, was To Die For

Thinkers' Dinner XIII, on 22nd June 2011, was Fame and Infamy

There was a Thinkers' Special on September 15th 2011 with the theme Nowhere to Hide

As you can see, our themes tend to be capable of more than one interpretation and we encourage as broad a range of views as possible.

We have not yet set the theme for Thinkers XIV, which is planned to take place in early November 2011 and will mark our 3rd anniversary.
