Group History: This group started out with a focus on INFP's only, but that was rather narrow, and the meetups were found to be ultimately more rewarding if any and all of the 16 types could interact.
These meetups are intended to be non-structured, informal and allow for maximum interaction between members. However, those who wish and feel qualified to give a presentation on a relevant topic, are welcome to schedule it in advance by contacting the organizer. Members frequently talk about subjects besides MBTI. The main topic of this Meetup serves more as a starting point for discussion rather than as an end in itself. People are free to mingle and talk with whomever they find interesting. All personality types are equally welcome. This is the place to be if you'd like to socialize with people who wish to understand themselves and other personalities better. Join us www.facebook.com/groups/331433710348657/

Tue, Sep 2, 2025, 10:45 PM UTCFTI: Will the Rich Leave If We Raise Their Taxes? Myths,Facts&WhatHappens Next?
Link visible for attendees
Raising taxes on the wealthy sounds like a way to fund social programs and reduce inequality—but does it really work? Or do the rich just pack up and move to lower-tax countries?
In this discussion, we’ll look at the evidence behind a common debate in economics and politics:

Do higher taxes drive people—and their businesses—away?

What does history show from states like California and New York, or countries like France and the UK?

What are the ethical and practical considerations of balancing fair taxation with economic competitiveness?

Whether you believe in taxing the rich more, protecting capital flight, or finding a middle ground, this event invites open minds from all perspectives to discuss how we can fund public goods without creating unintended harm.

Format: Lecture and discussion

Note: social time for our community 15 minutes before the presentation.

Tue, Sep 9, 2025, 10:45 PM UTCFTI: How Fair Is Our Justice System—And How Can We Make It Better?
Link visible for attendees
The justice system is meant to be the great equalizer, protecting our rights and upholding the law. But is it truly just for all Americans today? In this thoughtful and personal conversation, we’ll explore the core questions surrounding our courts:

How are judges and justices appointed, and how does that influence their decisions?

What role, if any, does undisclosed (“dark”) money play in shaping judicial rulings?

Why is public trust in the courts declining—and how can we rebuild it?

What are some personal stories that reveal both the strengths and shortcomings of our current legal system?

If our system isn’t perfect (and no system is), what reforms could make it fairer and more accountable—such as community courts or citizen juries?

Our goal is not to tear down the justice system but to improve it thoughtfully—protecting its essential role in society while correcting the ways it falls short of fairness. We’ll also discuss innovative ideas like local community courts and explore how ordinary citizens can help create a more just and trustworthy legal system.
Whether you’re a skeptic or a supporter of the courts, conservative or liberal, your voice matters in this conversation about how we define justice in America today—and tomorrow.

Format: Lecture and discussion
