What we’re about
The Thinkers’ Club is a discussion group intended to provide a fun, non-judgmental forum to share and debate intellectual and philosophical ideas with other critical thinkers. Come prepared to share concepts from history, philosophy, politics, religion, sociology, psychology, etc. that have influenced your thinking.
Members of all creeds, backgrounds, and walks of life are encouraged to attend. At The Thinkers' Club, we believe that intellectual discourse is best when we can explore - not dictate - views. On that note, bring an open mind and a friendly tolerance/respect for others' ideas.
Events are held virtually via Zoom.

Have you ever heard the term 'wokeism' and wondered what it really means? In this discussion, we will delve into the origins and evolution of this complex concept, examining its impact on society, culture, and politics. Is it a movement for social justice or a controversial ideology? Together, we'll explore the nuances, challenges, and debates surrounding wokeism, and examine how it shapes the world around us. Come ready to engage, question, and share your thoughts on this powerful and divisive topic.
- What do you understand by the term "wokeism," and how do you think it has evolved over time?
- How does wokeism challenge traditional views on social justice, equality, and personal freedom?
- In what ways can wokeism contribute to a more inclusive society, and where might it overreach or become counterproductive?
- How do you differentiate between being socially aware and engaging in what some might call "woke culture"?
- Is the rise of "cancel culture" directly tied to the principles of wokeism, or is it a separate phenomenon?
