Open Discussion Meetup - Work & Leisure

Topic: Work & Leisure

1. When does work feel meaningful to you, and when does it feel pointless?
2. If you suddenly had a year off, fully paid, what would you actually do with your time?
3. Do you think our society glorifies overwork or undervalues work? Why?
4. What’s a moment when “rest” actually made you more stressed? Why did that happen?
5. Is leisure something you earn, or something you’re entitled to by simply being human?
6. What did your family teach you about work and rest? How has that shaped you today?
7. What’s a job or task that society undervalues but you think is extremely important?
8. If AI and automation removed 80% of jobs, what parts of life would people struggle with most?
9. Which gives you more of a sense of identity: how you work, or how you spend your free time?

🏛️ What is Pandemonium Salon?
Pandemonium Salon is a gathering where strangers sit down to explore a meaningful topic together — without algorithms, matching, or curated groups.

Just a random mix of people, open minds, and real conversation.
We believe chance encounters with people outside your bubble are one of the fastest ways to expand your perspective and reconnect with humanity.

Every meetup we choose a topic that’s down-to-earth and relevant. The goal isn’t to debate or lecture — it’s to listen, think, share, and explore different viewpoints and experiences.

📓 How it Works
- We start with quick introductions
- The host explains the topic and light guidelines
- We use a few “jump-off questions” to get started
- Conversation flows naturally from there — tangents welcome
A typical evening looks like this:
7:00–7:15 – Arrive, settle in, casual chatting
7:15–7:25 – Welcome, introductions, overview of topic
7:25–8:45 – Whole-table conversation
8:45–9:00 – Closing reflections + group photo (faces anonymized if needed)
After 9:00 – Optional hangout time
