     If you want to discuss politics, economics, ethics, pop culture,or the subject of your choice without having to wade through the repulsive subjectivist/intrinsicist muck that passes for philosophy today this is the place for you.

     David and the group seem all to be well informed and well grouded in their opinions.

     The meetups offer diverse viewpoints, unconventional opinions, lively discussion, and original thinking about fundamental issues that you're not likely to hear from your coworkers or the media.

     The group has promise. I think with a little structure it will be able to hit a good stride and maintain member interest and participation. David Veksler is a good group organizer and has a genuine passion for Philosophy and intellectual conversation.

     I truly enjoyed the discussion. This is a well-educated group with a diverse mix of well thought out opinions. This group combines discussion of classic philosophic topics with the philosophy of day-to-day life. These discussions further define my own thoughts on matters, are endlessly fulfilling, and always have an interesting subject to broach.

     There obviously many new people attending this debate, but everyone seemed professional, open-minded and intelligent, but also knew how to crack a good joke and not take themselves too seriously ;]

     If you like to think and are willing to challenge your beliefs this is a great group to do it with. The group is accepting and no perspectives are excluded.

     We always get a very interesting group of people at these meetings. What is so wonderful is that many members of the group encourage new people to participate in the discussions. While sometimes it can be daunting to engage in philosophical discussions, David has done an amazing job of putting together the best possible environment for friendly discussions. Thanks David for constructing DFW's best meetup group.

     To do philosophy: the pursuit of...a mental massage (which is a wise thing to do in our information-overloaded-but-still-wisdom-challenged world).

     I like the focus on science, metaphysics, and culture. I think other groups are too focused on ethics debates.

     This is the first event that I attended with this group. The people I met were sharp and inquisitive.

     Excellent! Hard to talk at outings, though; I probably wouldn't attend those. And I hope you find a day other than Thursdays.
