HALLOWEEN THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS • PORTOBELLO

A HALLOWEEN SPECIAL that will be nothing like your regular halloween party 🧡

Using our usual THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS approach (see below), we'll explore various themes associated with this strange annual event: spookiness, celebration, tradition, liminality, witchcraft, childhood, etc.

There might be a few surprise Halloween-y twists to the format 🎃

There is absolutely no need to dress up, though you are very welcome to if you would like to 👻

Early Bird Tickets: £5 until 15th October
Standard Tickets: £7 from 15th October

**ALTERNATIVE PLATFORM FOR TICKETS - TRIBE**

WHATSAPP GROUP - stay in the loop
WEBSITE - sign up for our newsletter
INSTAGRAM & FACEBOOK - bits and pieces about the people, the thought experiments, and the community

The idea: meet new people and have different - thought provoking - conversations.

How we'll do it (timings approximate):

• 6:30 - Arrive at the pub, find us in the dining room
• Organise ourselves into small groups (3-4 people per group - the smaller the group, the more talking time.)
• Have a look at the thought experiments (posted here on the day of the event)
• 6:45 - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment. If you don’t want to talk about that one, move on to another one. Feel free to veer off topic.
• 7:05 - Optional shuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment.
• 7:30 - Optional shuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment.
• 7:55 - Wrap up - hear about upcoming events, join the whatsapp group, give feedback/requests for future meetups.
• 8:00 Organised part of the meetup ends. Social begins.

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.

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....

Where we'll meet:
This group will be at the Earl of Lonsdale Pub on Portobello. The nearest Tube station is Notting Hill Gate.

Looking forward to thinking & talking & listening with you.
