Group History: This group started out with a focus on INFP's only, but that was rather narrow, and the meetups were found to be ultimately more rewarding if any and all of the 16 types could interact.
These meetups are intended to be non-structured, informal and allow for maximum interaction between members. However, those who wish and feel qualified to give a presentation on a relevant topic, are welcome to schedule it in advance by contacting the organizer. Members frequently talk about subjects besides MBTI. The main topic of this Meetup serves more as a starting point for discussion rather than as an end in itself. People are free to mingle and talk with whomever they find interesting. All personality types are equally welcome. This is the place to be if you'd like to socialize with people who wish to understand themselves and other personalities better. Join us www.facebook.com/groups/331433710348657/

Upcoming events (4)
See all- FTI: Universal Basic Income: Would it be a Smart Safety Net or Costly Mistake?Link visible for attendees
Universal Basic Income (UBI) proposes giving every citizen a guaranteed minimum income—no strings attached. Some argue it could end poverty and prepare us for an automated future. Others warn it could discourage work and bankrupt governments.
In this session, we’ll explore:- What real-world experiments in UBI (like in Finland or Alaska) have shown.
- Whether UBI could replace—or complement—existing welfare programs.
- The economic, ethical, and political arguments on both sides.
Whether you see UBI as a bold solution or a dangerous gamble, join us for a balanced discussion where conservatives, liberals, libertarians, and independents alike can explore the facts and debate what’s best for society.
Format: Lecture and discussion
Note: social time for our community 15 minutes before the presentation.

- FTI: God, Gödel, and the Gaps: Can Limits of Logic Suggest Something Greater?Link visible for attendees
The “God of the Gaps” argument—claiming that God explains what science cannot—has long been criticized for shrinking as human knowledge expands. But what if there’s a more nuanced version of this argument? One not rooted in ignorance, but in the fundamental limits of human understanding itself.
Enter Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, which mathematically prove that within any consistent system of logic, there will always be true statements that cannot be proven within that system. Does this open the door to a rational acknowledgment of mysteries that may remain permanently beyond human explanation—whether those mysteries point to God, the transcendent, or simply the limits of reason?
In this session, we’ll explore:
What Gödel’s theorems actually say—and don’t say—about the limits of human knowledge.
Whether the “God of the Gaps” argument, when reframed as an acknowledgment of intrinsic limits rather than temporary ignorance, holds any philosophical merit.
Alternative secular explanations for the unknown, such as human cognitive limits, multiverse theories, or epistemological humility.
How this question intersects with science, philosophy, and personal belief systems across the spectrum.
This conversation is for skeptics, believers, and anyone intrigued by the boundaries of what we can know. It’s less about proving or disproving God, and more about asking: When we reach the edges of knowledge, what—if anything—should we place there?

- FTI: Understanding Trans Issues: Facts, Myths & RightsLink visible for attendees
Join us for a respectful, fact-based discussion exploring common beliefs and debates about trans people. We'll take a nonpartisan look at topics often discussed in politics and the media—such as participation in sports, healthcare, and legal protections. Are common conservative concerns about safety and fairness valid? Are progressive policies helping or hurting trans people and society? We'll focus on what evidence says, what remains debated, and where thoughtful people from different perspectives might find common ground. Open to all viewpoints; respectful dialogue is encouraged.
