🤔 Saturday Philosophy picnic 🧺

Join us for a relaxed philosophical discussion in a Cafe or Park

📖 Do I need to prepare?

Nope, just bring yourself a beer maybe or some snack you can enjoy.
Maybe Bring a blanket (optional if its sunny and we are going to sit in park)

☀️ Whats the vibe?

💬 No philosophy background is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to hear different perspectives.
🌱 We’ll keep things relaxed and conversational. Simple questions often lead to surprisingly deep discussions, and that’s exactly the atmosphere we’re hoping to create.

🤔 Questions we might explore

### ### Is staying silent the same as taking a side? 🤐

Situation: A coworker is publicly blamed for a failed project. You know your manager made the decision that caused it, but speaking up could put your own job at risk.

• How much personal risk should you accept to defend someone being treated unfairly?

Some free questions:

• Is there a moral difference between privately disagreeing and publicly objecting?
• Does having more power give us a greater responsibility to speak up?
• Can silence ever be a thoughtful choice rather than an act of cowardice?

### Is kindness still kindness when you expect something back? 🎁

Situation 1: A friend regularly helps you move, listens to your problems, and pays for meals. When you decline a favour that would seriously inconvenience you, they list everything they have done for you.

• Did accepting their kindness create a debt you should repay?

Some free questions:

• Must kindness be selfless to have moral value?
• When does expecting reciprocity become treating relationships like transactions?
• Which matters more: why someone helps or the difference their help makes?

Bonus: Would you protect someone you love if they committed a crime? 🔐
