The purpose of our group is very simple: we discuss and analyze ideas. The word "analyze/analytical" is not a reference to syllogistic, analytical philosophy, but rather stands for those who like to analyze and critique ideas. Its a place for thinkers to connect with other thinkers! The format is also very simple: there is a brief 15 to 30 minute lecture (the shorter the better) followed by a civil conversation. We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …

We are all surrounded by opportunities for social enrichment: every time you stand in line at the grocery store, every small talk conversation in an elevator – each day opens a door to a new life experience. We need only know how to capitalize on these opportunities to live the lives that they've always wanted: to be the center of attention at parties, to cultivate a strong network of friends and to make those we find most fascinating lean forward in anticipation of what you'll say next. This i …

Controversial dialectics are always welcome and polarity of view-points is encouraged. While I tend to be open-minded, I have my limits.  I have a distinct a …
