Welcome to the Practical Philosophy Meetup Group. To give you a quick sense of what this group is about, the working title for this group was 'Philosophy in a Pub', and that's exactly what it sounds like; a fun night of good people and 'deeper' discussions which may include a beer, glass of wine, or whatever works for you.  :) Click here for the longer description of this group

Athiest powers... UNITE! Sure, we're not as batshit crazy as the United States gets, and us Atheists have it pretty darn swell up here in Canada, but who doesn't want to meet intelligent like-minded people and have a raging passionate discussion on affairs that shape the world. You should join if you're a non-believer who has diverse interests, and who loves well-informed debate and discussion.

Forbidden Archeology witch does not follow the accepted University story, is hidden. Certain authentic photos and videos are mixed with false ones to confuse the truth. Our research of myths and Hollywood films eventually become our reality. Education of spirituality, nature and the cosmos untaught in our schools and universities. This group is a perfect example of engaging the unknown and marrying it with science. Fantastic knowledge in fantastic times, essential in understanding eventual human …

I wanted to start a informal and fun discussion in Toronto around topics that are near and dear to my own heart and worthy of hearty debate: - Cloud computing (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) - Virtualization benefits/drawbacks/strategies - Next generation application architectures - Cloud security, data mobility For each session, a couple members will prepare a bit of background on a topic and then we can have a debate/discussion. A good opportunity to learn and hear what others think!

Do you just want to relax and enjoy meeting new people! Let's overcome our shyness and anxiety together and get comfortable and confident with speaking in front of each other. …

This site has been set up to open the public square of debate that we started in London to a global audience through the use of Webinars (or online seminars.) GlobalNet21 (21st Century Network) started in April 2007 to discuss some of the great issues of the 21st century and then follow this up with further debate and action. It was about enlarging the Public Square where debate takes place using social networks to bring new audiences of people into that debate. We have grown rapidly with o …
