## Riga Philosophy Discussion Meetup
Welcome to an open philosophy discussion group for curious minds, thoughtful conversation, and respectful debate.
After traveling the world for the past few years as a digital nomad, I’ve noticed that nearly every major city has a philosophy discussion group — a place where people from different backgrounds gather to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore life’s bigger questions together.
This meetup is an opportunity to create that kind of space here as well.
The purpose of this group is not to “win” arguments or prove others wrong, but to think deeply, listen carefully, and enjoy meaningful conversation. Whether you are new to philosophy or have studied it for years, everyone is welcome.
Topics may include:
Ethics and morality Consciousness and free will Meaning and purpose Technology and society Politics and human nature Happiness and suffering Logic, reason, and belief Artificial intelligence and the future Classic philosophical ideas and modern dilemmas
For our first meetup, we will begin by proposing several discussion topics. The group can then vote, and by majority we will explore whichever topic generates the most interest.
Are humans naturally good or selfish? Can happiness be the highest goal? Ethics of artificial intelligence Is ignorance bliss? Should emotions guide decisions?
The format will be informal, open, and conversational. Everyone is encouraged to participate, ask questions, and share perspectives respectfully.
If the first meetup goes well, the plan is to make this a weekly gathering.
Simply look for the table with the Latvian flag on it when you enter. Note: The conversation and all discussion will solely be in English.
