What we’re about
Critical Thinkers in the Upstate is a vibrant social community for curious minds in Upstate SC. We’re a welcoming group of adults (30+ preferred) who value awareness, perception, and critical observation. If you love exploring ideas, questioning assumptions, and seeing the world from many angles, you’ll feel right at home.
Our members are thoughtful, broad-minded, and never afraid to say, “Let’s think this through.” We embrace our biases, challenge each other respectfully, and strive to grow intellectually and emotionally.
Whether you're into philosophy, science, spirituality, psychology—or just good conversation... we celebrate open dialogue over dogma, and insight over ego.
