DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 40% · why: easy to
  get to · lots of people going\n\n🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?\n\
 nPractical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers to
 gether for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic\, practice communicating
 \, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge r
 equired! 😎\n\nPractical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy sh
 ould be accessible to all\, and not something reserved only for academics.
  Each week we choose a topic\, and the goal is to use the conversation to 
 develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.\
 nThe goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking\, Communication\, and C
 ommunity 🙌\n\n📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?\n\nEach week\, we pick one topic and dis
 cuss it. The topic for the week is shared\, generally in the Whatsapp grou
 ps\, along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.\n\nWhen gro
 ups get bigger than 7-8 people\, it’s important that we break into smaller
  groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed
  to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture.\n\nGeneral Meetin
 g Agenda\nEach Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline:
 \n\n18:30-18:45 - People arrive and chat\, get to know each other before t
 he official start.\n18:45-18:55 - Meeting introduction\, explanation of Pr
 actical Philosophy and the topic for the week\, read the guidelines and th
 e overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.\n18:55-
 20:15 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thought
 s on the topic\, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can r
 eview the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed\, but they are just there to help
  guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.\n20:15-20:30 
 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each 
 group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and 
 everyone takes a group photo.\n20:30 - The official meeting is over but it
 ’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environme
 nt\, so we often stick around\, chat\, and get to know each other.\n\n🧧PRI
 CING?\n\nPractical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if 
 we are meeting in a café\, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for 
 us to meet\, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost
  of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though!\n\n💛 WHAT PEOPLE
  SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY\n\n🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps so
 meone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while
  not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam\n\n🗣 “I got hooked from day 
 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel
  it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives a
 nd increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who
  might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to
  have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel\n\n🤓 FAQ\n\nDo I need to st
 udy or read anything to attend?\n\nNo preparation is necessary. This isn’t
  a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic
 \, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a r
 eligion or a school of thought to share\, throw it on the table and we’ll 
 discuss it.\n\nIs there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is
  focused on?\n\nThe goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussio
 ns\, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this\, we want to 
 hear from every realm of thought\, and don't study a particular school.\n\
 nIs it mostly men that attend?\n\nSurprisingly\, no! Although often\, phil
 osophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys\
 , our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders\, a
 nd we don’t meet in any dark rooms.\n\nCan I come alone?\n\nOf course you 
 can\, we encourage it :)\n\nCan I be late?\n\nPlease don't be! We do have 
 a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang 
 out\, but after that if you arrive too late\, it
