SPECIAL: TEiP X MOONSTRUCK • PHILOSOPHY & COFFEE | Thought Experiments in Public
Details
We're heading to one of the top 10 cafes in London for a special event about the PHILOSOPHY OF COFFEE ☕️
In July, I met up with a TEiP community member, Lionel Crasto (who also happens to be an award winning barista and coffee ambassador) to talk about philosophy and coffee.
He said to me that "when it comes to the philosophy of coffee, it just depends how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go"... we went deep!
Together we're bringing you three thought experiments paired with coffee tasting (decaf options available).
The event will be at Moonstruck Cafe, one of the top 10 coffee shops in London (Best Coffee Guide) and top 20 in the whole of Europe! What better place to explore the philosophy (and taste) of coffee?
Spaces are very limited, so get your ticket early if you want to be there 😊
MORE INFO
The idea: A chance to meet and talk meaningfully about thought provoking topics.
How we'll do it (timings approximate):
- 6:30pm - Arrive at Moonstruck.
- Organise ourselves into small groups (3-4)
- Have a look at the thought experiments (announced on the day of the event)
- 6:45 - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment, but feel free to pursue tangents and anecdotes.
- 7:05 - Reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment.
- 7:30 - Reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment.
- 7:55 - Wrap up - hear about upcoming events, feedback/requests for future meetups.
- 8:00 Meetup ‘ends’. But conversations continue.
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 Moonstruck Cafe. The address is: 153 South Lambeth Road, London SW8 1XN. The closest tube station is Nine Elms.
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....
I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this beautiful location :-)
