Location: Wood Lake Nature Center

Welcome to our 45th Transbelief Dialogue, where we follow Aristotle's path of peripatetically discussing our differences. It's been called "Mindwalk + My Dinner with Andre!" This time, we'll meetup at Wood Lake for an early Spring outdoor Walk-n-Talk, where we'll stroll around the Lake and Nature Center during our transbelief dialogue. Afterwards, interested participants will be invited to have after-dinner at Richfield's Aida's!

This Meetup is part of our group's recurring forum, The Dialogium, for facilitative, reasoning dialogue between FMCOR's very different folks!

Our topic for FMCOR Dialogium 45 at Lake Nokomis will be, in honor of Leonard Nimoy:

"THE INFLUENCE OF SPOCK & STAR TREK"

As we stroll Wood Lake and commune with nature, we'll discuss our diverse opinions about such questions as these:

"How has the character Spock influenced American or world society?"

"How has the character Spock influenced you personally?"

"Does Spock's Vulcan philosophy of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations) + Logic underlie any of those influences?"

"Has Star Trek influenced you personally, and if so, how?"
