386:26 cosmoiswa... 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.

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.

No wonder Cosmo said the submissions suck... regardless of that I want to see a discussion of individualism vs collectivism. Just the general discussion of this is quite nice as we can bring up works such as Utopia and a fictional classic that many have read such as Animal Farm (gotta love those references to the period around World War II).

I'll vote for the LGBTQIA+ one, since it relates to me and I think proper education over the topic is really important.

Well monogamy immediately stuck out to me I think that'd be a fun way to kick things off

So far, one good topic suggestion, possibly two, the rest have been pretty trash.

Why does poutine seem to only exist in Canada even though it's delicious and should be available in the USA?


Because fries are better with ketchup, or with cheese and bacon, and gravy is gross.

i feel like we're all interested in psychology to an extent if we willingly join a game based around psychological warfare almost daily so that might be a good topic to discuss
