Inspired by Christopher Phillips' books, scores of people are meeting for these modern version of Socratic dialogue. These are intended to be group conversations which often move in a spiral, touching on topics in ways that may not be obvious at first. Our purpose is to bring back thoughtful dialogue in counterpoint to the shouting pundits of so-called debate on TV and radio. One need not be an academic or expert. We seek diversity of thought from people from all walks of life. ALL ARE WELCOME. …

For Brights, and those who are fans of Brights. Let's socialize and philosophize and politicize in order to bring realists like ourselves better political outcomes. There are only two reasons for "freethinkers" to meet. Maybe three. 1. I don't drink...(1a.) and have a significant other. 2.

Let's MEETUP and figure …

What do star people, wanderers, freethinkers, and free range people have in common? To some degree, they may be people who find themselves outside the mainstream traditions and trends, not from an impulse to reject society or rebel, but due to a recognition of being different, and making conscious choices whether and when to conform. The idea of this group is to bring together people who "go their own way" rather than follow the established traditions or popular authors and speakers in the areas …

One who inquirers about everything, but accepts the most reasonable explanation based on science and falsifiable claims. There is no topic a true skeptic will not approach, and the topic of religion is one of those. This group is NOT for those who say “I know for sure that I am right, that my religion is one true r …
