The Process

How It Works

Meet us face-to-face in vibrant locations. We run two flavours every week:

Drunken Fridays

Casual & Unfiltered

Grab your drink of choice & enjoy relaxed, open discussions about life's biggest questions. Thoughtful dialogue encouraged within respectful boundaries.

Sober Sundays

Structured & Reflective

A more intentional session. Prepared topics, moderated discussion, and space for deeper introspection. Perfect for easing into your week.

The 4-Stage Journey

Whether it's a high-energy Friday or a reflective Sunday, every physical meetup follows this intentional flow to move from surface-level talk to deep, honest connection.

Stage 1

The Icebreaker

Quick intros + one "gut-check" question to loosen up and set the tone.

Stage 2

Speed Philosophy

1-on-1 sessions. 10 minutes. One random philosophy card. One deep topic. Swap.

Stage 3

The Core Group

Deep-dive discussions in curated groups of 5–8, moderated by a host.

Stage 4

The Roundup

Community photos and a final surprise activity to close the session.

Is It Better to Have a Flawed but Consistent Philosophy, or No Philosophy at All?

Introduction: The Invisible Framework We All Live By Most people don’t walk around consciously thinking about their “philosophy of life.” And yet, every decision we make—how we treat others, what we prioritize, what we believe matters—is shaped by some underlying framework.

Could Two People Ever Experience the Same Reality?

Introduction What does it mean to experience reality? At first glance, the question seems simple. Two people sit in the same room, watch the same event, hear the same words—surely they are experiencing the same reality. But when we begin to examine this assumption more closely, it starts to unravel. In a recent philosophy discussion, we explored this question in depth: Could two people ever truly experience the same reality, even in identical situations? What followed was not just a t…

Human Nature and Economic Systems

I. Opening Frame: The Core Question The discussion began with a foundational philosophical inquiry: What is human nature? Is it universal or individual?
