TEiP for Breakfast @ THE STATION PUB in Hither Green • IMAGINATION

Our first MORNING episode of Thought Experiments in Pubs!

Join us for deep discussions, varied perspectives, and caffeine at The Station Pub in Hither Green 😊

This is a beautiful pub with lots of light - perfect for a morning meetup. It is also right outside Hither Green station, so very easy to get to.

We'll be talking about IMAGINATION - explored through 3 thought experiments and a series of questions

Spaces are limited - sign up in advance if you want to be there!
(The pub is child friendly & you’re welcome to bring children with you 😊)

THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS - posted on the day of the event
INSTAGRAM & FACEBOOK - see what we look like
WHATSAPP GROUP - stay in the loop
WEBSITE - sign up for the newsletter

The idea: A chance to meet and talk at a 'deeper' level than 'small talk'.

How we'll do it (timings approximate):

• 9:00am - Arrive at The Station pub, just outside the Fernbrook Road exit of Hither Green Station.
• Settle in and organise ourselves into small groups (4-7ish - apparently 4 is the best number for a good conversation!)
• Have a look at the thought experiments
• 9:15 - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment, but feel free to veer off topic.
• 9:35 - Optional shuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment.
• 10:00 - Optional shuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment.
• 10:25pm - Wrap up - hear about upcoming events, feedback/requests for future events.
• 10:30 Meetup ‘ends’. But feel free to carry on conversations, usually quite a lot of us stay for a while after these events :-)

Notes on the general atmosphere:

• The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic.
• While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough!
• Feel free to suggest ideas for future Thought Experiments in Pubs meetup groups, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss.

Where we'll meet:
This group will be at The Station Pub/Hotel in Hither Green. The nearest station is Hither Green. Take the Fernbrook Road exit from the station and you'll see the pub as soon as you walk out of the station. (Trains go from Charing Cross and London Bridge to Hither Green regularly.)

Who should come:
Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about doing philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality...etc. etc....

I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this beautiful new location :-)
