The Pen and the Sword

If you are driven by curiosity, crave meaningful discussions, and a genuine truth seeker, this group is for you. Subjects like philosophy, psychology, sociology, politics, etc, permeate throughout the world in all walks of life. They underlie the myriad of problems that plague our world. And yet most people call them useless, a waste of time. Most people don't realise, or don't choose to realise, that fixing the problems with our world without addressing these underlying subjects is fighting the symptoms, not the cause. Thus, the problems will manifest again and again in different forms. Let's allow these subjects to be what they are - the thing that unites us all.

Here we welcome everyone, so no experience or prior reading is required. We accommodate people of all levels of sociability as we split events into two groups: introverts and extroverts.

Events are approximately 3 hours long and take place around evening time. The plan is to explore one big question in depth to try and reach a proper conclusion people can take home with.

Schedule:
A summary is delivered on existing ideas and definitions relevant to the question. - 10mins

Pen discussion (theory and reasoning) with a card system which guarantees everyone to have a turn to speak. - 45mins
Pen discussion without the cards. - 45 mins

Break time. - 15mins

Sword discussion (possible solutions and actionable steps forwards) with the cards. - 15mins
Sword discussion without the cards. - 15mins

Both groups merge and a spokesperson from each group concludes and summarises everything their group has said. - 20mins

If you want an event dedicated to a particular question you've been dying to answer, then feel free to let me know.

The big questions can no longer be ignored. Join The Pen and the Sword to find the truth in everything.
