This group is for people who like to mix philosophical discourse and drinking. If you're looking for carefully moderated debate, look elsewhere. These discussions are unstructured intellectual free-for-alls - the only two constants are booze and a keen interest in the nature of reality and human existence. We take philosophy very seriously, but we don't think taking it seriously demands that you act like an academic when discussing it. No formal training is necessary - no one will be expect …

We are a jovial bunch of scientific skeptics who gather monthly at a downtown Seattle pub (and elsewhere) and have topic-driven talks about science, pseudoscience, critical thinking- or maybe we'll invite a controversial speaker to challenge our assumptions. Month to month, we try to keep science interesting, relevant and fun! Did you know that not a single psychic or paranormal event has ever been reproduced under controlled conditions? Have you ever wondered about the effectivenes …
A group of people with widely varying backgrounds and viewpoints meet every other Wednesday to discuss one of the Great Mysteries.

We meet at at Awash Ethiopian Restaurant (3808 S. Edmunds St., Seattle 98118; just off of Rainier Ave S in Columbia City). The only ground rule is that we practice "deep listening." This means that we are n …

"Getting started" as a new user of a complex software application like Meetup isn't as easy as the documentation would imply. Why face this challenge in a bubble? To understand what Meetup does and doesn't do, let's create four Meetups about Meetup. Specifically, let's use Meetup to create public awareness campaign that motivates our own friends, family, and professional associates to understand Meetup's privacy features. After we finish organizing a Meetup about Meetup, we can organize a Facebo …
We all philosophize. Whether it’s when we are asked for our ethical/moral opinion, or we ask ourselves “Why..?” or “What if..?” Never studied philosophy? Haven't read Nietzsche or Kierkegaard? Don't even know who they are? Then Socrates Café may be the philosophy group for you. It's an approach that takes philosophy "out of the ivory tower and back into the lives of ordinary people, where it belongs." It's where people from different backgrounds get together and exchange thoughtful ideas and exp …
Welcome: We are a bunch of freethinkers who meet monthly on the Eastside, usually at my home, for discussion, friendly debate, movies, and fun. All opinions are respected. Liberal versus conservative? No problem. Even theists and creationists are welcome as long as they do not mind being challenged.
