Mind Club

We love AI. But there's a cost to using it.

Knowledge work used to exercise your mind the way physical labour exercised your body. Now AI does that heavy lifting for us. And just like the body in a sedentary lifestyle, our minds are losing the exercise they used to get for free.

So we need a gym for the mind.

That's why we started Mind Club.

What is Mind Club

An in-person event at Builders Club in Kitchener. Pen and paper exercises across math, science, language, logic and reasoning. It's a bit like going back to school in the 2000s, before everything moved online, before you could look anything up mid-thought. Just a room, a problem sheet, and your brain.

Who is this for

If you use AI heavily and feel like something is slipping, the ability to hold a problem in your head, to reason through something without reaching for a tool, this is for you. More broadly, it's for anyone who cares about their mind the way they care about their body, and wants a regular reason to actually use it.

What to expect

The idea is to work quietly, but you can ask questions if you're stuck. You'll be working with pen and paper and we'll ask you to put your phone away while you work. At the end, solutions come out with full working, and anyone who wants to stay can compare notes, argue about answers, and talk through their reasoning. That second part is optional. More info here.

What to bring

You don't need anything, but headphones and snacks are welcome if they help you focus.

Cost

Your first visit is free. After that, it's $20 per visit.

Members of Builders Club are free.

What you get

A booklet of original problems covering math, science, language, logic and reasoning. Full worked solutions at the end, so you can see exactly where your reasoning went right or wrong. The booklet is yours to keep.
