Human Values Meetup - online

Our next Meetup, on the fourth Sunday of the month, will be online. We're still considering the possibility of meeting in person again at an upcoming meeting, with a Zoom connection available for those who are farther away.

The topic for Sunday, August 24 is:

"The New Anti-Monopoly Movement". In 2020, two new anti-monopoly institutes were formed, along with new publications, and networking has led to three annual summits, including one next month, in Washington DC.

Anti-monopoly policy had been virtually shut down since the 1980s, and neither of the political parties had revived it - so monopolies and cartels have gotten much worse over those forty years, resulting in less affordable medical care, food, housing, etc.

Several members of Congress earlier this year formed an anti-monopoly caucus. Will the new anti-monopoly movement continue to catch on? Mike O'Mara will introduce the topic, followed by open discussion.

We welcome a diversity of views, for open-minded discussion, where we can learn from each other.

We meet the 4th Sunday of each month, 12:30-2:00, and are currently meeting online. At about 12:45, the speaker that day introduces the topic (usually a 20 minute introduction), followed by open discussion.

We were meeting in a restaurant before the covid situation. When we met there, our format was: lunch and socializing, the first hour; then a presentation, followed by open discussions. The topics are on various subjects related to human values, such as: aspects of society; the arts; social science; current events; nature and evolution; history; science and technology; ethics; philosophy, etc.
