What we’re about
Let's meet to discuss the most significant philosophical issues of our time. Is there absolute mortality? Freewill and Determinism? The problem of evil? What is consciousness? Does life have meaning? Atheists, agnostics, and believers are welcome.
Please note that this group meets in person, not online. Meetings are typically held in Norfolk or Virginia Beach. However, we are always looking for co-organizers who can discuss interesting topics. If you are from out of town and are interested in scheduling online meetings, please get in touch with us.

See all- Silicon Soulmates: A Deep Dive into AI RelationshipsPlaza Azteca, Norfolk , VA
Join our philosophy meetup as we dive into the thought-provoking questions raised by the film “Her” and recent trends of AI “companions” in today’s society!
Can you truly fall in love with an AI, and can it genuinely love you back? We'll explore the complex philosophical underpinnings of AI relationships, dissecting concepts like personhood, embodiment, feelings, and reciprocity in the context of human-AI interaction.
Using Her as our guide, we'll discuss the unsettling implications of advanced AI companions, from issues of power and privacy to the very nature of human connection and love. Come ready for a fascinating and potentially unsettling discussion on where the future of relationships might be headed!
