What we’re about
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update from the Organizer - July 2025
This group originally started as a Jordan Peterson discussion space, and it brought together many deep thinkers around timeless ideas: responsibility, meaning, identity, and the big questions of our time.
Since then, my own thinking (and the world) has evolved. I'm now exploring the intersection of AI, psychology, systems thinking, and the future of work and meaning.
This group is evolving too. We’ll still discuss serious, meaningful topics, just no longer centered on Peterson’s work.
I'll be renaming the group soon to reflect this broader vision, but our spirit of honest inquiry, curiosity, and thoughtful conversation will stay the same.
If this resonates with you, stay tuned. If not, thank you for having been part of the journey so far.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aim of the group is to discuss the big issues of the moment in an atmosphere of open inquiry and commitment to truth.
We will discuss some of Jordan Peterson's ideas and use them as a springboard for new and creative thinking on any and every subject.
If you enjoy Jordan Peterson's lectures and conversations online and want to participate in live discussions at that level of debate and analysis, then this is the group for you.
