Do I Have Energy for Time? Anarchometaphysical Hibernation Phil!

Hello all! Hopefully a new GoPro/webcam is in the works so the haphazard tech issue will be fixed. As attendees know, 15 minutes before the meetup my laptop camera got possessive and wouldn’t turn on no matter how many times I reset it.

I'm also shifting from Zoom to Jitsi unless you guys particularly enjoy shifting the host as a particularly anarchist practice in leadership sharing in Zoom. However, we have to have people ready to volunteer able to quickly generate a new meeting. That was fun, and some people reported enjoying it.

If the webcam situation is resolved, everything will be in order. Youtube playlist is listed below. We have two longer segments from the 12/12/23 session and one shorter session as a sample for people just coming into The Cauldron meetup Youtube Playlist : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEe83ylMjUA&list=PLPCtmfRox-WOZvEhNYXBVArA34-CjSoHo

Our next meetup will be
Wednesday, December 27, 2023
7:00 - 9:00 PM

Reading reduction note: We are bringing it down to two readings at the request of 12/12/23 attendee Isaac in respect to working schedules. I will post three but only ask that you read two (though feel free to read all if you have time). Whatever you do read, be prepared to throw its ideas into the "cauldron" of synthesis when you think the time is right! Don't wait to use your knowledge! I would say we tend to focus on metaphysics so reading the metaphysics pieces would be critical.

Please email me at [alexandriaanova@gmail.com](http://mailto:alexandriaanova@gmail.com/) if any one of these links aren’t working.

As always, Cannoli the Cat remains our female wizard cat supervisor and Nicks the witch cat remains our local hunter and smoocher (he hid in his space cat castle last time, for no reason...he never does that). Your familiars/pet supervisors highly encouraged to attend...unsupervised hoomans are the worst (see: climate change)!
