(Wikipedia).\n\nDeism differs from Atheism, which proposes that natural processes are solely responsible for the existence of the universe, or Theism, which professes a knowledge of God who can only be known through revelation given to certain people. Religion is a Theistic worldview.\n\n**History and Background:**\nDeism gained prominence in the 17th and 18th centuries as religion was increasingly challenged and scientific knowledge of the natural world expanded dramatically. Deists believed that divine laws could be discerned from a study of nature rather than sacred texts, and seeing the work of a supreme designer in the order of the natural world. Many scientists and philosophers of the time, such as Voltaire and Leibniz, were Deists (Wikipedia) as well as those involved in the founding of the United States, including Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.\n\nDeism declined following further scientific advancement and discoveries, particularly related to the age of the universe and the origins of humanity, leading many to an Atheistic worldview that the universe was solely created and exists in accordance with natural laws. Religion also staged a revival as science was seen as stripping away individual and communal spirituality that many find comforting.\n\n**So, why Deism?**\nAs religious intolerance remains stubbornly entrenched and science postulates a purely material universe devoid of higher purpose, can Deism help humanity to find meaning in existence and a way of living in harmony with each other and the world around us?\n\n**Questions for discussion:**\nIf the universe is the work of a creator (a concious being/s acting freely and rationally) as believed by Deists, then:\n\n1. Would humanity and the natural world have greater meaning and value to us than if they were the product of blind chance?\n2. Is our experienced reality ‘real’, meaning that our actions, or lack of them, actually matter and form part of the ongoing story of the universe?\n3. Would our understanding of natural laws have a spiritual dimension? Would the creator want us to know its intentions and increase our knowledge of its existence through our understanding of the universe?\n4. What would our moral values and decisions be if we tried to extrapolate them from the laws of nature? For example, should we help others at risk to ourselves?\n5. What should be humanity’s concerns and priorities based on the laws of nature, for example of issues like climate change, population, etc?\n6. Would it mean that we have free will, as compared to a deterministic universe where each action is the result of the previous one?\n\n**References:**\n**[Deism: Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism)**\n**[List of Deists: Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deists)**\n**[What is Deism?

There’s zero pressure to be funny, clever, or theatrical. This is about discovering what happens when you say yes, stay present, and build something together from nothing.\n\nYou’ll learn the key principles that make improv work: agreement, spontaneity, listening, and trust. You’ll also explore what gets in the way—overthinking, self-doubt, trying to be entertaining—and how to let those habits go.\n\nExpect lots of classic improv games, laughter, discovery, and those glorious moments when a scene takes off in a direction no one could have predicted.\n\nWe’ll cover:\n\\* How to be more spontaneous\n\\* Letting go of the inner critic\n\\* Listening as if nothing else matters!\n\\* Creating characters and stories on the spot\n\\* Embracing mistakes and turning them into offers\n\nPerfect for:\n\\* Anyone who wants to build confidence through playful group work\n\\* People completely new to improv\n\\* Creative folks seeking a new challenge\n\\* Actors or performers new to unscripted work\n\\* Improvisers looking to refresh their core skills\n\nNo scripts, no pressure, no experience needed—just a willingness to try, play, and discover what improv can offer.\nAnd the best part? The skills you’ll practice like curiosity, presence, adaptability and trust don’t just help on stage… they’re brilliant for everyday life & career too.\n\nTeacher:\nMatt Sparkes has been teaching improv for over ten years, and he loves working with beginners.

Progress is its form rather than making progress one of its features.” Ludwig Wittgenstein\n\nWhen thinking about ideas and the thinkers that produce them we often make implicit assumptions about the benefits of the progress that these ideas contribute to. What kinds of progress do we want or need? Can all progress be sustainable? Is progress always beneficial? Is progress just the evolution of complex systems? Should we privilege one state of such a system over another?\n\nIn this session we will be discussing these questions and related topics including a brief exercise to imagine ourselves in different times and in different cultures.\n\nSupporting Video Links:\n**[John Gray on progress](https://share.google/H4KfNaAufGUJVEmBk)**\n**[Rupert Read on Progress and Wittgenstein](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEPcQ6sIOTY)**\n**[Monk debate on progress](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUmBWB54riE) [Long]**\n\nInteresting background reading:\n**[If we don't rethink the concept of progress, it could point society toward oblivion - Macleans.ca](https://macleans.ca/facebook-instant-articles/if-we-dont-rethink-the-concept-of-progress-it-could-point-society-toward-oblivion/)**\n**[Do we need a better understanding of 'progress'?](https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20220615-do-we-need-a-better-understanding-of-progress)**\n**[Is 'Progress' Good for Humanity? - The Atlantic](https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/09/the-industrial-revolution-and-its-discontents/379781/)**\n**[When is Progress Really Progress? | Absolute Engagement Blog](https://absoluteengagement.com/blog/when-is-progress-really-progress)**\n**[Do Human Progress Trends Justify the Status Quo?](https://humanprogress.org/do-human-progress-trends-justify-the-status-quo/)**\n**[Kate Soper – The growth agenda is no longer feasible.

No experience in philosophy or knowledge of the subject is required in advance. Just come along and enjoy. Our events use the the 4Cs of community philosophy:\n\n* **Caring** for others, making space for their contributions\n* **Collaborating** to get a better mutual understanding rather than scoring points\n* **Critically** assessing what we say, clarifying what is meant and asking what reasons support assertions\n* **Creatively** coming up with alternative perspectives, rather than dogmatically sticking to our initial positions\n\nWe welcome everyone of a wide range of ages, social and educational backgrounds etc. Don't worry if you don't have a qualification in philosophy - almost no-one does. Occasionally, attendees will be asked to watch, read or listen to a short piece of material in advance of the session (as the 'stimulus' for discussion), but this will be minimal and will be made clear in the description of the session.\n\nWe ask for donations of £1 per session from those who can afford to pay to cover the costs of the Meetup subscription. First timers are exempt. Don't feel obliged to pay if you can't afford it - or pay less. Feel free to put £5 to cover five sessions or however you want to donate - this is left entirely up to you.","price":"£1","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1757304864000","seoName":"what-has-progress-ever-given-us","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-roade/cate-classes-lessons/what-has-progress-ever-given-us-6365502268365112/","localIds":"173","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"aac5adcc-29da-4981-aeb0-470768c29dcf","sid":"c0343484-9c1a-41de-9798-8f4e813d5187"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1757304864716,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6506","location":"12 St Andrew's Rd, Headington, Oxford OX3 9DL, UK","infoId":"6365487655078512","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/9/3/7/highres_529487415.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Looks","content":"Why is it that advertisers rarely tell us details of their products? Instead, they present an image of a celebrity or happy family, with the implication that we should look 'like them' It is the power of The Spectacle, something the Situationist movement, active from the 1950’s to 1970’s banged on about. Fifty years later, do their views, on the power of the image, still resonate? Has social media turbo charged the phenomenon?\n\nBut who were the Situationists? Many core messages from the movement were delivered by the philosopher Guy Debord, in his 1967 book ‘The society of the Spectacle’. To set out, what at times may appear a willfully obscure ideology. Here is a Situationist quote:\n*Just as early industrial capitalism moved the focus of existence from being to having, post-industrial culture has moved that focus from having to appearing.*\nThe shift to how we appear, indeed 'looks' as heavily curated, for photos, TikTok shorts, box set series, facebook and instagram to Hollywood movies, but also through AI texts, dominates now far more than it did in the 1960’s. We increasingly live our lives, one could argue, through representations of it, rather than first-hand experiences of it.\n\nImagine a portrait gallery where hundreds of people are looking at a few individual depictions of people, ....rather than at the real people surrounding them.\nImagine a bustling Park where a child is clicking the buttons on a game about visiting a park on their tablet whilst all around the trees are dropping leaves, the lake refracts and ripples, and children run about laughing and playing together.\nImagine watching a sunset on your TV whilst one is occurring live outside your window.\nSo, is Situationism just an obsession with easy imagery? No. Here is another Situationist quote -\n*The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation between people, mediated by images.*\n\nAt a music festival you may expect the grittiness of camping, seeing bands live, making use of sub-par bathroom facilities etc to be direct and visceral. Yet even here, is the ‘Spectacle’ mediated? Are crowds largely performing their crowd roles in the way bands perform their sets? Is everyone dutifully taking selfies showing themselves in front of the structures set up with the purpose of people having selfie opportunities? Is life increasingly about a step back from direct experience and more about acting in a way we have seen the spectacle depict for us? Is it less about being and more about appearing to be? The ‘image’ remaining essential to how everyone feels about themselves and others. Has the 'look' become the experience? Even philosophers could be more interested in appearing philosophical than experiencing, un-fettered, the full range of human ideas and potential.\n\nThe Situationist ideology, though it was never clearly and consistently articulated, was also big on nurture rather than nature. Take this quote –\n*You are what you do. If you do boring, stupid, monotonous work, chances are you\\\\'ll end up boring, stupid and monotonous.*\nSituationists were appalled by the way work and indeed leisure was increasingly commodified.\nTake ‘wild swimming’. Two decades ago those who jumped into random outdoor watercourses were mostly oddball thrill seekers. These days it is often far from ‘wild’.\nThe Situationists would likely ask: When ‘wild swimmers’ go swimming, are they feeling the cold water on their skin; the weeds, mud and rocks under their feet etc. Are they really conscious of their situation. Or are they reveling in fitting an image, a spectacle, the correct look, of health and adventure?\n\nPerhaps it is truly Epicurean to reject the fakery of the spectacle and live instead more simply and happily and truer to ourselves?\n\nAnd what would E.P. Thompson have to say on working class collusion in not just attaining things for material improvement, but to look the part. How we all no longer simply aspire to own a posh frock or classy shirt, but clothing with a label emblazoned across the front of it. A statement of slavish adherence to the image portrayed by wearing Nike, The North Face or Tommy Hilfiger. A kind of visual reference point of who we are or want to be seen as. A substitute for genuine emancipation. A view that Situationists would say was driven by the need for constant market expansion, making us no more than kens or Barbies, adorned with accessories ,,,,but ultimately empty.\n\nHere are some philosophical questions we could tackle on this-\n\n1.Are second hand (metaphysical?) relationships to the world, and to others in it, as meaningful as directly experienced and/or unmediated encounters?\n2.\na) Do we think in images?\nb) Are images reference points to aid thinking?\nc) Do images dictate behavior and stop us thinking and acting creatively and meaningfully?\n\n3.Is the way we see products, politicians, scientists, even the whole concept of truth, about how it is spun?\n\n4\\. Has the explosion of imagery in the last hundred years driven a fundamental shift in how we see ourselves and others?\n\n5\\. Can a conscious change of situation \\(hence their name\\) through a jarring of expected 'norms' help us be authentic\\, rather than shaped by the spectacle presented to us?\n\nAnd for a short youtube intro to the Situationist movement. see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGJr08N-auM\n\nThis is a social event where we explore topics together. You don't need to be a philosophy expert, just interested, and prepared to play nicely.","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1757303723000","seoName":"looks","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-roade/cate-classes-lessons/looks-6365487655078512/","localIds":"173","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"2ae16add-665b-41e4-9c8c-57164b36b11c","sid":"c0343484-9c1a-41de-9798-8f4e813d5187"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1757303723052,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6513","location":"16A Market Pl, Woodstock OX20 1TA, UK","infoId":"6365487626086512","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/0/b/3/highres_520193427.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Historic Woodstock and Blenheim","content":"**Join us on a walk round the historic town of Woodstock and the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace**.\n• Hear the story of the **Medieval Royal Hunting Lodge** where King Henry 2 kept his beloved mistress **Rosalind Clifford**.\n• Discover the history of **Blenheim Palace**, built by the first **Duke of Marlborough** and his indomitable wife, **Sarah Churchill**.\n• Learn how Blenheim influenced and shaped their famous descendant **Winston Churchill** who led Britain through World War 2.\n• Explore the town’s interesting buildings including the **Norman Church** with its amazing musical clock, the **Pest House**, once a hospital for small pox patients, the old **Glove Factory** and the **Ancient Mariner’s House**.\nIt will be lovely to see friends old and new.\n\n**We will meet** outside Woodstock Town Hall, High Street/Market Place OX20 1LS for a 2pm start.\n[https://what3words.com/clip.damp.caressing](https://what3words.com/clip.damp.caressing)\nCar parking is extremely limited at weekends so **please travel by bus** if at all possible (town centre parking is now too limited time-wise and the Hensignton Road free car park is usually full at weekends).
