The Last Refuge of Scoundrels: a philosophy discussion group
The prompt for the week is meant to invite thought. Scoundrels develops through discussion, with each gathering taking on its own character. This is why you don’t find a lot of extra information here about the topic. We practice curiosity about other’s ideas at session, when people prep a bunch before arriving, there’s a tendency to want to argue, persuade, or steer the conversation towards your own way of thinking instead of exploring together. If you want the fuller picture of what Scoundrels is, the button below will take you there.

What is a hallucination?
A hallucination can seem immediate, vivid, and real, which makes it philosophically slippery. This week’s Scoundrels discussion turns toward perception, experience, and the uneasy line between what is there, what is imagined, and what the mind can generate on its own.

What is “the State” for?
We talk about “the State” constantly, usually with strong feelings and blurry definitions. This Scoundrels conversation asks what the state is supposed to be for in the first place: protection, order, freedom, welfare, power, or something else entirely.
Why do people hold on to zombie ideas?

Scoundrels Discussion Group
Kickoff by: Gad Perez 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.
