Philosophy Discussion Meetup #4

## Riga Philosophy Discussion Meetup #4

Welcome to an open philosophy discussion for curious minds, thoughtful conversation, and respectful debate.

This event is where people from different backgrounds gather to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore life’s bigger questions together.

The purpose of this meetup 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 fourth 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.

Possible discussion topics:

• 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.

Simply look for the table with the small Latvian flag on it outside.
(or inside if the weather is not so nice)
Note: The conversation and all discussion will solely be in English.
