Is thinking about utopia worthwhile?
Scoundrels Discussion Group
Kickoff by: Seth Tichenor
The questions keeping you up at night are worth exploring with others who wonder too. Each session starts with a kickoff introducing one meaningful question, then a philosopher thinks alongside you—not lecturing, just exploring together where curiosity leads. Neighbors of all ages gather to think carefully about what matters. No arguments to win. No credentials required. Just the satisfaction of ideas taken seriously and the connection that comes from thinking deeply with people who actually listen. Free and open to all. Try one session. Most people tell us it's the intellectual companionship they didn't know they were missing.
