Critical Thinkers & Curious Minds - Berkshire & Surrey

A private local community for those who think deeply, question assumptions, and enjoy exploring life’s bigger questions. We discuss science, philosophy, psychology, human nature, futurism, and related ideas in a calm, thoughtful setting.

This group is for people who enjoy exploring ideas together, not for those looking to judge, lecture, or prove intellectual superiority.

Our Meetups

• Sunday Discussions: Single-topic, loosely guided group conversations
• Weekday Pub Nights: Member-submitted questions and free-flowing discussion
• Occasional Extras: Walks, talks, exhibitions, and cultural events

What We Value

• Rationality: Clear, logical, evidence-based thinking
• Open-mindedness: Willingness to explore ideas, including challenging or unconventional ones
• Curiosity: No expertise required, just a genuine interest in learning
• Respect: Space for different perspectives without dominance or dogma

Guidelines

• Stay on topic and allow space for everyone to contribute
• Avoid lecturing, preaching, or arguing to “win”
• Keep discussions grounded in reason and mutual respect
• Update your RSVP if your plans change
• Topics considered controversial are welcome. Nothing is off topic, as long as backed by logic and reasoning.

We actively maintain the tone of the group and may remove members whose behaviour disrupts discussion or discourages others from participating.
