Transbelief Dialogue 29, Weinstein Gallery & Lk Harriet, "Who's Less Rational?"
Details
Welcome to our 29th Transbelief Dialogue & Nature Walk, where we follow Aristotle's path of peripatetically discussing our differences. It's been called "Mindwalk + My Dinner with Andre!" This time, our Nature Walk will be indoor/outdoor, at both Weinstein Gallery and Lake Harriet in downtown Mpls. We'll meet at Weinstein Gallery (http://www.weinstein-gallery.com)'s free Exhibition of historical photographs by W. Eugene Smith (http://www.weinstein-gallery.com/exhibits.php?eid=40) at 2:00pm Saturday, March 23. After we see Smith's famous images of men, women and children during the WWII era, if weather permits we'll stroll west and south below Lake Harriet to discuss a topic of relevance both to the Weinstein Gallery exhibit and March's National Women's History Month, and end our jaunt at a Linden Hills Neighborhood gluten-free-friendly restaurant -- Naviya's Thai Brasserie (http://www.naviyas.com/) -- for after-dinner!
This Meetup is part of our group's recurring forum, The Dialogium, for facilitative, reasoning dialogue between FMCOR's very different folks!

And what topic for our Dialogium 29 will entice us to try another OUTDOOR Nature Walk-n-Talk only 3 days into Spring in Minnesota? What else but:
"Men or Women:
Who's Less Rational?"
As we stroll Lake Harriet between Weinstein Gallery and Naviya's Thai Brasserie we'll tackle these issues:
Are men and women equally rational? Are they equally emotional? If not, who's worse at reasoning and emotionality -- we ladies, or we gentlemen who've been claiming gender superiority all along? Who starts World Wars, anyway? Men or women? Or both? Or neither?
Is empathy antithetical to rationality, or a useful aid to it? Is aggression an exclusively testosterone-dependent trait? What about women's "estrogen cycle?" Is reason without emotion a cool thing, or a scary thing (like T'Pring vs. Spock!)?
What would the world be like if all it had were Men? And what would it be like if all it had were Women?
Don't miss FMCOR's Dialogium 29, on March 23 2pm, to tell us how YOU see the Role of Men and Women in World Peace (vs. Whirled Peas)!

Logistics: Let us know when you RSVP if you need a carpool ride.
After our 2:00-4:00 p.m. Walk-n-Talk, those who've worked up an appetite (or need to warm up) will join us as Naviya's Thai Brasserie (next to Famous Daves in Linden Hills) for after-dinner!
Invite your friends for our Walk & Talk -- the more different we are, the more enlightening our conversation!
Hoping to see (and hear!) you at our Dialogium 29 on, "Who's Less Rational?" -- RSVP "Yes" today!
(When you RSVP, please tell us: 1) If you want a carpool ride to and from our Meetup & Dinner; 2) If you need monetary assistance to attend our after-dinner; and 3) If you have suggestions for a question you'd like FMCOR to discuss at a later Dialogium.)
