I'm going to start a discussion group
387:05 cosmoiswa...
where each week, the participants will vote on what topic in philosophy, literature, or general culture to discuss
387:13 cosmoiswa...
I'll assign watching and reading materials
387:33 cosmoiswa...
and after a week of where participants can read up on the topic and the associated concepts
387:49 cosmoiswa...
I'll open a chat room for discussion and furthered exploration
Pretty much any topic is up to be debated, things such as specific religions (Buddhism), economics systems (communism), philosophy (stoicism), literature (specific authors or concepts or schools of thought), specific foods, history, anything that lends itself to interesting discourse is up for grabs.
At the end of each week, I'll archive the materials, and the chat room logs for review.
I had a feeling you would rat me out. It was pretty fun trying to remain anonymous.

I vote for the collectivism vs individualism discussion, and why collectivism has been devalued and almost compared to fascism. There's a lot of material out there that is relevant to this; and if we do not talk about it now, it would be a good topic for later.
I do not think you will have a hard time at all finding resources btw

I wanna talk about modern political theory, specifically the different ideas within classical liberalism. I think looking at the debate between Robert Nozick and John Rawls would be a good starting point, but Anarchy, State, and Utopia and A Theory of Justice are pretty dense and technical for an entry-level discussion so IDK.
discussion about emtions and why we have them? why are theuyi mportant?
kinda what i proposed earlier, but this is probably a good starting point before we delve into what i was asking (how we derive emotions from various mediums)
Being both religious and asexual, I feel the LGBTQIA+ topic would be an interesting one to start with. It mentions religion in its possible questions section, and that really stuck out to me.
