ST PANCRAS • The Pilot: IDENTITY

A PILIOT episode in a new location! Join us at Thought Experiments in Pubs ST PANCRAS 😊

We've found an amazing room in a one of a kind pub. The Betjeman Arms is half in St Pancras Station and half in St Pancras Hotel. The room has amazing views out over King's Cross and a beautiful interior. There's only space for 45, so make sure you sign up fast if you want to be there :-)

THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS - what we'll talk about at this meetup
WHATSAPP GROUP - stay in the loop
INSTAGRAM - see what we look like

The idea: A chance to meet and talk at a 'deeper' level than 'small talk'.

How we'll do it (timings approximate):

• 7:00pm - Arrive at The Betjeman Arms. You can access the pub either from the street (entrance to the right of The St Pancras Hotel entrance) or via St Pancras Station (entrance from the upstairs train platforms). We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us.
• Organise ourselves into small groups (4-7ish - apparently 4 is the best number for a good conversation!)
• Have a look at the thought experiments
• 7:15 - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment, but feel free to veer off topic.
• 7:35 - Optional reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment.
• 8:00 - Optional reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment.
• 8:25pm - Wrap up - hear about upcoming events, join the whatsapp group, give me feedback/requests for future meetups.
• 8:30 Meetup ‘ends’. But feel free to carry on conversations :-)

Notes on the general atmosphere:

• The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic.
• While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough!
• Feel free to suggest ideas for future Thought Experiments in Pubs meetup groups, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss.

Where we'll meet:
This group will be at The Betjeman Arms. The nearest Tube station is King's Cross St. Pancras. You can access the pub either from the street (entrance to the right of The St Pancras Hotel entrance) or via St Pancras Station (entrance from the upstairs train platforms). We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us.

Who should come:
Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about doing philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality...etc. etc....

I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this amazing new location :-)
