What we’re about
We are a gathering of passionate ponderers having fun exercising our minds whilst exploring and discussing various ethical/moral dilemmas and thought experiments from multiple angles.
Our purpose is not to engage in arguments about politics or religion, nor will we attempt to solve the world's problems, rather, we'll use rational analysis of conundrums as an enlightening recreational activity.
Join us to expand your knowledge, challenge your perspectives, and meet like-minded individuals interested in intellectual growth and stimulating conversations.

See all- This Month's Big Question: Do Humans Have Free Will?Link visible for attendees
This month we will ponder an age-old, much debated question: Do humans have free will? Some have pointed out that we are each the product of “nature” and “nurture,” neither of which are under our control. Others contend that we must have free will because a lack thereof invalidates our existence. Come join in this discussion; depending on the level of participation, this topic may span several sessions. Feel free, or not (pun absolutely intended) to check out the webpages below or simply Google the topic as a primer.
