What we’re about
San Francisco Regional Mensa is the Bay Area chapter of Mensa, the most well-known High-IQ group in the world.
We are a group that enjoys meeting with each other for any number of reasons, such as lectures, discussions, dinners out, or just having fun.
Although our chapter hosts events that are for Mensa members only, we also host events that are open to the public.
This "Friends of San Francisco Regional Mensa" Meetup group is open to anyone in the Bay Area who is curious about Mensa and would like to attend events that we host that are open to the public.
Currently, nearly all of our events are online only, due to the pandemic, but we plan to host in-person events in the future.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are a current member of Mensa, we encourage you to join our members-only San Francisco Regional Mensa group.

************************************************#### Science fiction often describes our meetings with other intelligent species. Many times a universal communicator or an assumption of a common language bypasses the need to explain communication. In the real world we will have to establish a way to communicate, even if we have no commonality to serve as a basis.
- What senses could be used to communicate? One of the five we have, or something we can’t even yet imagine.
- Could there be no form of communication because there is no need? Perhaps a hive mind or a colony creature like a jellyfish? Perhaps what appears to be a discrete creature that actually is part(s) of one being with no more necessity to communicate than you do when you move a limb,
.
Our panel consists of four current science fiction writers who will discuss multiple possibilities in the realm of communication with beings sharing our world and those that we may meet in our future explorations.
