Part I (Introduction) : The Human Animal & Money
January 21st, 2026
What is the truth about the human condition? Do we shape our environment or does it shape us? Why do we look to leaders and is community important? The evolution of money... has is harmed us or progressed us? Does money hold any value? What is the Alternative?

Your Host Darren will present 18 years of his thought into this subject and share in simple terms, some very obvious observations about the long-evolved flaws in our social orders and no-brainer solutions you might never have thought of! But first you might need to be ready to suspend some of your long-held beliefs in what it means to be human, what is means to be a civilisation and what it is you truly want from this life.

This is no pie-in-the-sky what-if presentation but a considered thought-provoking technical analysis of all the issues we all can see in the world around us with some solutions proposed that might very well start a call to action to start working on building a better world.

…But Before all that:

1. Part I (Introduction) : The Human Animal & Money
   January 21st, 2026
2. Part II : Why Should We Work?
   February 11th, 2026
3. Part III : Do We Need To Own Things?

4. Part IV : Do We Need A Government?
   March 11th, 2026
5. Part V : Should We Follow The Law?
   March 25th, 2026
6. Part VI : Is There A Better System For Our Societies?
   April 15th, 2026

Join us for this presentation series of long-considered ideas that might very well inspire or frighten you for their bold yet optimistic possibilities. Ask questions, share your thoughts, challenge the assertions in and friendly and open space as you’ve always trusted LOOK.Sharp Cafe to be!

Whether you're a Coder, Creative, Influencer or Freelancer, we’ve got just the Event for for you!

With like-minded individuals, you can share your experience with support and feedback that you may never have considered!
Bring your laptops down to our cosy communal table with Food and Drinks available from our lovely team as you bring to reality the worlds next big idea, or simply meet your freaking deadline!

Hosted by the delirious and dimwitted Darren. Your general and not-so-general knowledge will be put to the test as teams of 3-4 people which we allocate at random at the start of the event. This ensures new connections are made in line with our values at LOOK.Sharp and that syndicates do not form. Prizes include drinks tokens for runners-up and vouchers to spend at our space for each in the winning team on food and drinks.

Please note that our start time for this event is strictly as advertised as once the game has started, only restaurant diners are permitted entry for the remaining seats in the cafe.

*Our new ticketing system for event attendance is now up and running!
