THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS

A smaller, quieter, and less rushed edition of THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS.

At TEiP DEEP, we have the chance to spend a whole hour and a half on one thought experiment, exploring different perspectives, coming up with new questions, listening and learning from one another.

The big group discussion will be lightly facilitated to ensure that everyone has a chance to speak if they want to (no pressure). And we’ll split into small groups of 3-4 for the deeper discussion, shuffling groups every 20 minutes so you get to talk to more people.

We’ll use some simple ground rules to keep our conversation the best it can be:

• respect for one another’s perspectives, beliefs, time (etc.)
• confidentiality of personal stories
• own your perspective
• you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to.

Our aim is the same as our bigger Thought Experiments in Pubs meetups: a chance to meet and talk at about meaningful, thought provoking things.

Although we’ll be going a bit ‘deeper’, we’ll keep the intention to have an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun.

This is the most frequent of our meetups - weekly/fortnightly - and seems to be creating deeper connections and ideas in the community :-)

Places are limited to 15 people and tickets are £5.

Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend so that someone else can have your place.

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:
We've found a new pub! The Duke of Argyll is managed by two familiar faces previously at the Earl of Lonsdale. They've offered us the use of their super cosy upstairs library :-)
The nearest Tube stations are Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, and Oxford Circus.

Looking forward to meeting & talking with you!

Our ✨CHRISTMAS SPECIAL✨ - a special episode of Thought Experiments in Pubs.

And a celebration of two years of meeting up to talk about strange scenarios :-)

This Christmas Special will have a surprise twist to the normal format. Come along to find out what it is.

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.
