TEiP BATTERSEA • S1E8: REASSURANCE | Thought Experiments in Public

Open minded discussions and the opportunity to learn from each other ❤️ This episode will explore the theme "REASSURANCE" by way of three original thought experiments by special guest author Jottie. They will be posted in the comments below on the day of the event. Meetup frequently glitches so I've created a backup: **[TEiP NEWS](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/)** Hawkins Forge embodies our values: warm, welcoming, convivial, and a home to deep thinkers. The pub has boardgames and cards for the after party, and they’ve also **kindly offered us a deal on their Arrowsmiths Darts experience**: **30 minutes free for anyone who buys a drink after the event**. Spaces are limited, so get your ticket early if you want to be there 😊 **The idea:** A chance to meet and talk meaningfully about thought provoking topics. **How we'll do it** (timings approximate): * 7:00pm - Arrive at Hawkins Forge. We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us. * Organise ourselves into small groups (3-4) * Have a look at the **thought experiments** (announced on the day of the event) * 7:15 - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment, but feel free to pursue tangents and anecdotes. * 7:35 - Optional reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment. * 8:00 - Optional reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment. * 8:25pm - Wrap up - hear about upcoming events, feedback/requests for future meetups. * 8:30 Meetup ‘ends’. But feel free to carry on conversations. Usually a lot of us stay until late :-) **Notes on the general atmosphere**: * The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic. * While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough! * Feel free to suggest ideas for future Thought Experiments in Pubs meetup groups, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss. **Where we'll meet**: This group will be at Hawkins Forge, 5 minutes walk from Clapham Junction. We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us. **Who should come**: Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc.... I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this beautiful location :-) \- Bonny Relevant links: **[SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/)** \- read more about this community and other related stuff **[MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/36b38902fa)** \- backup in case meetup goes down **[INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpublic)** \- see what our events look like **[WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DapwAXpnOHO5DRYThobpe4)** \- very occasional announcements

TEiP HALLOWEEN PARTY • PORTOBELLO | Thought Experiments in Public

A different kind of "party".... In the UK, Halloween is often associated with tacky excess, frightening bloodstained costumes, and drunken revelry. I grew up with a different kind of Halloween because I went to an American school. The general vibe was **creativity, comedy, and an excuse for a whole community celebration.** We had a costume parade that everyone, even the teachers, participated in. The costumes were mostly home made, tending towards silliness rather than horror. For example, one year a group of students made enormous Pac-Man costumes out of cardboard and used the school corridors to enact a life-sized game of Pac-Man. It was a fun way to bring everyone together and brighten up rapidly darkening October. So I'd like to bring a similar creative, friendly spirit to this special episode of TEiP. As ever, **the aim** of the evening will be to have open-minded, thought-provoking conversations with fellow humans, so we'll use the tried and tested TEiP format for the majority of the night (see below for details). **The theme will be "DARKNESS", which we will explore by way of three original thought experiments** (tiny stories that spark big questions) posted in the comments on the day of the event. There may be a few twists, and there will definitely be some **(optional) games and Halloween-y activities afterwards**. **Dressing up is encouraged, though entirely optional.** We will have a **friendly costume competition** with points awarded for: * originality * homemade components * comedy So think less generic blood-drenched plastic and more repurposed packaging. (I will share some inspo in a [Substack post](https://bonnyastor.substack.com/) in the next week or two) \-\-\- **NB**: It is likely that TEiP will move off Meetup at some point in the future. Please join the mailing list if you'd like to stay in the loop (comms will be minimal and you can unsubscribe at anytime): **[MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/36b38902fa)** \-\-\- **How we'll do it** (timings approximate)**:** * **6:30** \- Arrive at the pub\, find us in the dining room * Organise ourselves into small groups (3-5ish people per group) * Have a look at the thought experiments (posted in the comments on the day of the event) * **6:45** \- First rotation begins \- Talk about the first thought experiment\.

REGISTER INTEREST: ZINE MAKING with LESS STRESS PRESS: cultivate creativity

**Join our [MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/59860c6d0d), if you'd like to receive invitations to future events (some of which will be hosted off of meetup).** What is a Zine and why should I make one? Zines are handmade booklets. They can be used to share information, ideas, stories, art (etc.). Zine making creates opportunities to: * spend time exploring ideas * hone in on something you love or care about: a cause, a message, a skill, a place (the possibilities are endless) * get creative with collage, drawing, writing, printmaking (etc.) * produce compelling and unique booklets that you can print cheaply and share with friends and strangers offline After lots of creative brainstorming of their own, Bonny and Ellie have landed on zine making as the perfect way to both open up space for playful, low stakes creativity, and focus their minds on bite sized projects. **Join our [MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/59860c6d0d), if you'd like to receive invitations to future events (some of which will be hosted off of meetup).**

🎄Xmas Cards To Elderly in Care Homes

We will be writing Christmas cards with warm festive messages to elderly people in residential care homes. Many people in residential care do not receive regular visits and Christmas can be particularly isolating. This small act of kindness can help them to not feel as lonely during the Christmas period. Join us, and send some smiles across the miles to those who need them most. I’ll provide the Xmas cards and all the writing material you will need to brighten someone’s day. All you need to bring is your wonderful self! If it’s your first time, don't worry, I’ll have guidelines and inspirational suggestions. \*\*\* POLITE REMINDERS\*\*\* * If you click to attend but then can’t come, PLEASE change your RSVP to say you are no longer attending.

So please remember to always act respectfully and to be mindful of each other's boundaries. \*\*\* HOW TO FIND US \*\*\* We will be in Paul’s, which is just opposite Earls Court tube station.
