Café Philo, is a french tradition I'm bringing in Seattle. As a fan of philosophy and technology, this cafe philo 2.0 is a little bit different from the one I use to attend in Paris. The format is simple (and new!) a. You share your question (ie what is sustainability? is it possible/good?) b. we vote on the best one c. You have 1 min to explain your general point of view (kinda help to see where the debate will go) c. We have 30-60min to prep our arguments (using books / internet...) d. We deba …
This group is for people who like to mix philosophical discourse and drinking. If you're looking for carefully moderated debate, look elsewhere. These discussions are unstructured intellectual free-for-alls - the only two constants are booze and a keen interest in the nature of reality and human existence. We take philosophy very seriously, but we don't think taking it seriously demands that you act like an academic when discussing it. No formal training is necessary - no one will be expected …

We are a jovial bunch of scientific skeptics who gather monthly at a downtown Seattle pub (and elsewhere) and have topic-driven talks about science, pseudoscience, critical thinking- or maybe we'll invite a controversial speaker to challenge our assumptions. Month to month, we try to keep science interesting, relevant and fun! Did you know that not a single psychic or paranormal event has ever been reproduced under controlled conditions? Have you ever wondered about the effectiveness of alternat …

I wanted to unite like and un-like minded individuals—or, at least, individuals who share an intrigue for riveting, intense, sometimes argumentative philosophical discussion. I invite anyone else who shares an interest or knowledge for ideas relating to philosophy, skepticism, theology, atheism, Christianity, logic, creationism or science. Controversial dialectics are always welcome and polarity of view-points is encouraged. While I tend to be open-minded, I have my limits. I have a distinct a …
We all philosophize. Whether it’s when we are asked for our ethical/moral opinion, or we ask ourselves “Why..?” or “What if..?” Never studied philosophy? Haven't read Nietzsche or Kierkegaard? Don't even know who they are? Then Socrates Café may be the philosophy group for you. It's an approach that takes philosophy "out of the ivory tower and back into the lives of ordinary people, where it belongs." It's where people from different backgrounds get together and exchange thoughtful ideas and exp …

When you're dreaming, you wake up. At any time, you may wake up, but only the time you do is voluntary. There are many paths to waking up, but doing so is unavoidable. This may be a gentle version of "This is a Course in Miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it..." Hi, yes, this is "another spiritual group" except for two things. 1) The founder of the group succeeded with the teachings, has applied forgiveness and Joel Goldsmith's supply meditations to heal situations and il …

The Square Pegs Social Club is a place for those of us who don't conform to get to know one another and make new friends without having to explain our eccentricities. So many of us have struggled alone for so long, our social skills may be lacking or misunderstood by many NT people, so this club has been created to give us a place to call our own where we are the norm. Most Asperger's groups are geared to families of diagnosed children, therapy and techniques to enable us to blend in, these thin …

Hi! We've been bemoaning the lack of opportunities to meet professional, healthy, happy, attractive, interesting, adult polyamorous people in the Seattle area. This is supposedly one of the biggest, most active polyamorous communities in the US, and yet it appears that all of us poly folk are just groping around in the dark, trying to meet each other! SO, after thinking about ways to meet others, we had the bright idea to start a group poly folk in the area. We personally are half-closeted (she …

Known for a stubborn, mischievous, and headstrong temperament, the Schipperke is sometimes referred to as the "little black fox", the "Tasmanian black devil", or the "little black devil". They are naturally curious and high-energy dogs and require ample exercise and supervision. Schipperkes are very smart and independent; and sometimes debate listening to owners, instead choosing to do whatever benefits them the most. First-time dog owners would be well advised to familiarize themselves w …
