Free Thinkers: Exploring The Big Questions

Join us for a welcoming, judgment-free discussion where people from all backgrounds and beliefs come together to explore life's biggest questions through respectful conversation.

This month's meetup will be held on Tuesday due to room availability.

At the beginning of each month, members vote on the next discussion topic. Once you join the group, you'll have the opportunity to cast your vote and help shape future conversations. The poll is posted on the 10th of every month. The winning topic and questions are announced on the 20th of each month.

Please feel free to submit topic ideas for future polls.

Once the winning topic is selected, we'll explore it through four thought-provoking questions. We'll go around the room, giving everyone the opportunity to share their perspective or simply say, "I'll pass." Respectful follow-up questions are encouraged to better understand one another's thinking—not to debate or criticize

The poll has officially closed, and Mimetic Desire won by 3 votes! Thank you to everyone who participated.

Here are the questions for our upcoming discussion:

Topic: Mimetic Desire

1. Can you recall a time when you realized you wanted something mainly because someone else had it or wanted it?

2. How can we tell the difference between something we genuinely want and something we've learned to want from others?

3. If you stopped comparing your life to other people's lives, what would you still want for yourself?

4. How much of who we become is shaped by our own desires, and how much is shaped by the people we admire, envy, or compete with?

Whether you're interested in philosophy, science, psychology, religion, or simply enjoy meaningful conversations, you're welcome here. Come with an open mind, a willingness to listen, and a curiosity to explore new perspectives
