What we’re about
This group is for everyone who likes intellectual discussion and the sharing of ideas and values. It covers a wide range of topics - art, history, philosophy, economics, science, culture, sexuality, beliefs - whatever people in the group are interested in talking about.
Each session starts with one member talking about a topic they are interested in. We then discuss that topic. The group encourages diversity of opinion with a relaxed atmosphere that allows people to express themselves openly without judgment or hostility.
Each session will have suggested books and web articles to read and videos to watch so that we can have a quality, informed discussion.

See all- Neurodivergent, apparently: labels, norms, and the many ways of beingC/ de València, 209, Barcelona
This talk offers a practical overview of the concept of neurodivergence, focusing mainly on autism and ADHD. We'll explore where the term comes from, how it's used, and the tensions it generates—especially around definitions: condition, disorder, illness? We’ll also touch on published findings in functional neuroanatomy, and look at some of the everyday difficulties faced by people who fall under these labels. The aim isn’t to take a position or offer final answers, but to lay out the landscape clearly, raise questions, and reflect on how we understand and relate to different ways of thinking and being.
This session will be led by Alexis García, a neurologist.
