Monsters, and Moral Choices (secret film)","content":"**This month:** This fantasy adventure follows an unlikely group brought together by a plan gone wrong and a series of high-stakes decisions. As the story unfolds, characters must choose whom to trust, when to improvise, and how to deal with the consequences of past mistakes -often without knowing which option is “right.” While watching, we’ll track moments of choice under pressure: loyalty versus self-interest, intention versus outcome, and action versus hesitation. What makes a choice justified when all options carry risks? After the screening, we’ll explore these questions together. Also be ready for a surprise practical exercise, where philosophy shifts from analysis to lived experience! No prior philosophy required - just curiosity and a willingness to choose.\n**Can you guess the film? Or come and find out on the day!**\n\nNote that **the event will start at 6pm** due to a longer film.\n\nPFA Film Club hosts free screenings of thought-provoking films, followed by a discussion about the raised philosophical issues, for general public.

Open to all. No previous philosophical experience necessary.\n\nWe will meet in the Barbican Centre on Level Minus 1. Outside The Hall.\n\nHere's how it works:\n\n* At the start of each hour vote on which questions to discuss. You can vote for more than one question if you'd like. The questions with the most votes are the questions we discuss.\n* We then break up into groups and each group does a different question. The question is just a starting point and it's cool if you go on tangents and up end talking about different things. You're welcome to join in and participate or if you'd prefer you're welcome to sit back and enjoy the conversation.\n\nAfter an hour we all come back together, take a quick break and then repeat all over again. So in 3 hours we go around 3 times.\n\nThe aim is to have fun, meet new people, generate interesting and thought-provoking conversations, have your horizons expanded, challenge your preconceptions and who knows - you might even learn something?\n\nIn order to make the conversations as fun, interesting and productive for everyone as possible please follow these simple guidelines:\n\n1. Keep it Philosophical\n(No Science, no History, no Evolutionary Psychology, no contestable facts, personal anecdotes etc).\n2. Think for Yourself\n(No phones, no looking up definitions, no name dropping Philosophers / books you've read).\n3. Tangents are Cool\n(Don't worry too much if the subject drifts and you don't answer the question).\n4. Keep it Succinct\n(Like this).\n5. Be Excellent to Each Other\n(But of course).\n\nPhilosophy is about conceptual analysis. It's thinking about thinking. It's not about empiricism or the real world. It's about abstractions, concepts and ideas.\n\nTo terms of the right attitude: It's not about debating and trying to win - it's about listening to people and working collaboratively to increase our collective understanding.\n\nNo homework or prior knowledge or reading is necessary - simply come and enjoy the discussions.\n\nAfter the event finishes most people stay. A bunch of us will go to the local supermarket for drinks and snacks. You are very welcome to join us.\n\nIf you would like to submit a question please join the Whatsapp group. Question submissions take place on the Thursday before the meeting.\n\nWe hope to see you there.\n\nNice one.\n\n...\n\nTo join the Philosophy in the Park WhatsApp Group please click here: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdFaxJHbeOw9UOfuk7spiK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdFaxJHbeOw9UOfuk7spiK) (in order to stop spam bots this will take you to a Waiting Room.

Whether you bring a conundrum of your own that you are experiencing or simply your listening ear, you’ll find a welcoming space to share, reflect, and explore life’s tricky questions together.\n🌿 **What to expect:**\n\n* You’re invited to share a conundrum, dilemma or question that you yourself are experiencing.\n* We’ll vote on three intriguing ones to explore more deeply.\n* With a few extra details in hand, we’ll break into small groups for thoughtful discussion.\n* Then, we’ll come together as one big group to share insights, perspectives, and perhaps even some fresh solutions.\n\nThe atmosphere is **analytical yet empathetic, thoughtful yet light-hearted**, and always non-judgmental.

Go up the escalators to the Roof Garden and follow the signs to the Performance Space.\n\nHere's how it works:\n\n* At the start of each hour vote on which questions to discuss. You can vote for more than one question if you'd like. The questions with the most votes are the questions we discuss.\n* We then break up into groups and each group does a different question. The question is just a starting point and it's cool if you go on tangents and up end talking about different things. You're welcome to join in and participate or if you'd prefer you're welcome to sit back and enjoy the conversation.\n\nAfter an hour we all come back together, take a quick break and then repeat all over again. So in 3 hours we go around 3 times.\n\nThe aim is to have fun, meet new people, generate interesting and thought-provoking conversations, have your horizons expanded, challenge your preconceptions and who knows - you might even learn something?\n\nIn order to make the conversations as fun, interesting and productive for everyone as possible please follow these simple guidelines:\n\n1. Keep it Philosophical\n(No Science, no History, no Evolutionary Psychology, no contestable facts, personal anecdotes etc).\n2. Think for Yourself\n(No phones, no looking up definitions, no name dropping Philosophers / books you've read).\n3. Tangents are Cool\n(Don't worry too much if the subject drifts and you don't answer the question).\n4. Keep it Succinct\n(Like this).\n5. Be Excellent to Each Other\n(But of course).\n\nPhilosophy is about conceptual analysis. It's thinking about thinking. It's not about empiricism or the real world. It's about abstractions, concepts and ideas.\n\nTo terms of the right attitude: It's not about debating and trying to win - it's about listening to people and working collaboratively to increase our collective understanding.\n\nNo homework or prior knowledge or reading is necessary - simply come and enjoy the discussions.\n\nAfter the event finishes most people stay. A bunch of us will go to the local supermarket for drinks and snacks. You are very welcome to join us.\n\nIf you would like to submit a question please join the Whatsapp group.

Evidence for a series of sightings spread over two nights includes eye-witness statements from security guards at the US Air Force base near Woodbridge in Suffolk, a memo from a high-ranking USAF officer to the UK’s Ministry of Defence, and a real-time tape recording of events as they unfolded. This talk looks at the main points of the case and explains how the witnesses were fooled by a series of natural and man-made objects. The Rendlesham case is an instructive demonstration that UFO sightings can never be taken at facevalue no matter how reliable the witnesses may seem.\n\nIan Ridpath is an internationally renowned writer on astronomy and space and a well-known UFO skeptic. He was the first skeptic to investigate and explain the Rendlesham Forest UFO case after it hit the headlines in 1983. His investigations have grown into a major website which can be accessed here\n\nhttp://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham.html\n\nThis talk will summarize his investigations of the case.","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1762711638000","seoName":"the-rendlesham-forest-ufo-case-deconstructing-a-myth-ian-ridpath","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-rayleigh/cate-classes-lessons/the-rendlesham-forest-ufo-case-deconstructing-a-myth-ian-ridpath-6434708970304112/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"2ccb1b79-b5a7-4617-8409-6cc292f22861","sid":"ee30d60c-dd1e-49d6-9559-f6b215a536de"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1762711638304,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6506","location":"57 Whitecross St, London EC1Y 8AA, UK","infoId":"6433618427033712","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/7/b/4/highres_530834260.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"The History of England - Chapter 2, first section","content":"This week we'll be starting Chapter II of *The History of England from the Accession of James II* by Thomas Macaulay.\n\nWe'll cover the following sections:\n\n* Conduct of those who restored the House of Stuart unjustly censured\n* Abolition of Tenures by Knight Service; Disbandment of the Army\n* Disputes between the Roundheads and Cavaliers renewed\n* Religious Dissension\n* Unpopularity of the Puritans\n* Character of Charles II\n* Character of the Duke of York and Earl of Clarendon\n* General Election of 1661\n* Violence of the Cavaliers in the new Parliament\n* Persecution of the Puritans\n* Zeal of the Church for Hereditary Monarchy\n* Change in the Morals of the Community\n* Profligacy of Politicians\n* State of Scotland\n* State of Ireland\n* The Government become unpopular in England\n* War with the Dutch\n* Opposition in the House of Commons\n* Fall of Clarendon\n* State of European Politics, and Ascendancy of France\n* Character of Lewis XIV\n* The Triple Alliance\n\nThe book examines the cultural and political progress made in England in the late 17th and early 18th centuries -- focusing on the abandonment of medieval superstition and the creation of a liberal, constitutional, society.\n\nPlease read the chapter before attending (a digital version of the relevant volume can be found [here](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1468)).\n\nIf this is your first time attending we meet in the cafe of the Barbican Cinema.","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1762626439000","seoName":"the-history-of-england-chapter-2-first-section","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-rayleigh/cate-classes-lessons/the-history-of-england-chapter-2-first-section-6433618427033712/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"a1e3e5f9-864e-4244-8f54-801d8b89e0d9","sid":"ee30d60c-dd1e-49d6-9559-f6b215a536de"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1762626439612,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6506","location":"28-42 Banner St, London EC1Y 8QE, UK","infoId":"6432575789388912","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/f/c/9/highres_530588137.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Xmas Edit - On Festivals and Fasting","content":"* **read event description before signing up**\n* **register on Meetup to attend**\n* **update RSVP if plans change**\n* **arrive before 3pm**\n* **read the Letter before session**\n* **review the Questions**\n\n[Letter 18 - On Festivals and Fasting](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius/Letter_18)\n\n*Reading Time - 10 minutes*\n\n*Knowledge of prior Letters is not required*\n\n[Richard Mott Gumere translation used in session](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius)\n\n**\"It is the month of December, and yet the city is at this very moment in a sweat.
