What we’re about
Hello, WELCOME! I think this group was started with great intentions, and I'd like to see it keep going. We all have busy schedules and email is a great way to communicate on your OWN free time when YOU feel like having a "discussion.".
Instead of having rules, I've thought about how this group could be interesting and grow. It starts with YOU! First, everyone post a 1-3 sentence blurb about themselves, their beliefs, their favorite philosopher, hell, your favorite ice cream flavor and why - I don't care.
Then, when you see someone you think you might get along with, simply send them a Direct Message (DM) with is a little chat bubble over their name. You'll see when I post mine in a moment. When the two of you get to know each other (or decide you're not similar enough and go back to the drawing board of comments posted), exchange email addresses.
How THIS GROUP will function, is on the first and third Monday of every new month (STARTING IN MARCH), I will post a topic of thought, maybe a podcast, maybe a movie, or DM ME with your ideas and topics for discussion, and I will hold a 1.5 hour zoom call for those who would like to discuss what they have been emailing about with their other friends in this group (or other of the many many philosophy groups out there!!)
And remember, the friendships you make through through group and through discussions can take place all over the country, it is not limited to the DMV area (though that's arbitrarily in the title to set times, etc.) So feel free to join us and get to typing your thoughts!!
The RULES:
This is a safe space. All conversations should be civil and platonic. Report any violations to the administrator of the group. Violators will be banned. Please keep all correspondences on topic, cc-ing DMVCorrespondencemeetup55@gmail.com. Any inappropriate conversation will result in removal from the group
The WHO:
Busy professionals who want to have autonomy over when they communicate with other intelligent and interesting people and have deeper discussions via email.
