This group is for all of the atheist/agnostics (whatever you would like to think of yourself as) this side of the Puget Sound. This is a group for open minded people to get together at a coffee shop (after all this IS Washington), pub or restaurant and talk about their views of the world, recent news, philosophy, or whatever their cup of tea (or coffee) happens to be. This is also a group for atheists/agnostics who just want to be around other atheists/agnostics for a little while because they s …

Analytic philosophy is, by far, the standard type of philosophy taught in Philosophy Departments throughout North America, Britain, Scandinavia, and beyond.

However, this group will discuss the lighter topics and presume little or …

Once a month we'll meet to discuss the current book selection, as well as select the book for the next month's reading. Everyone will get a chance to offer up their …

Do you have ideas running through your mind all the time that you would like to put into a story that you might even be able to get published one day? Would you like to have others read your writing or listen to your ideas and give you feedback? Would you like to give feedback to other writers about their stories? If yes, then this is the group for you. Who knows, maybe we'll even make some friends in the process of improving our writing. That sure sounds good to me. We'll write for the first 45 …

We are the greatest/only Improvisational Rube-Goldberg Machine team in the world! Join us as we meet in a casual atmosphere for some silly science fun. At each meeting, we use only the random items we bring with us to design a spontaneous Rube Goldberg Machine together that does a trivial task (like cracking an egg, or ringing a bell, for example) through a creative, convoluted sequence of connected simple machines. Then, we see if it works! Although we're enthusiastic about the recreational fun …

The human being has a number of unique qualities that make each of us special. One of which is ingenuity and adapting to our environment, to sustain our lives, enrich our existence, and to help in moving our civilization forward. The focus of this group is to get like minded individuals together to discuss engineering, mechanics, science, re-use & re-purposing of materials, DIY projects, crafts, and many many more topics in the creation of new items or hacks of something old.

I wanted to unite like and un-like minded individuals—or, at least, individuals who share an intrigue for riveting, intense, sometimes argumentative philosophical discussion.  I invite anyone else who shares an interest or knowledge for ideas relating to philosophy, skepticism, theology, atheism, Christianity, logic, creationism or science. 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 …

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 …
