Our purpose is to engage in a lively exchange of ideas. Some of the topics that we've discussed are: How does one live a fulfilled life?/ Is cultural appropriation a good or bad thing?/ Who defines or should define what is good and evil?/ Is it justifiable to apply current mores to the past and to judge the past according to modern-day sensibilities?/ Is it valid to consider an artist's personal life when judging their work?
The format: discussions in a public venue, where topics are not dictated by a facilitator but are chosen by the attendees. People come with their burning questions, and the first few minutes are devoted to making a list of suggested topics. In the first round of voting, people vote for as many topics as they find interesting. Usually, the top three topics are voted on in the second round, where everyone can only vote for one.

 

If you’re interested in learning more and engaging in a friendly discussion, come to our next meeting and tell your friends. And please bring questions you are interested in discussing.
