The School of Philosophy is dedicated to helping individuals understand the world in which we live as they seek answers to big questions such as “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” “What is a worthwhile life?” and “What is truth?” As the School draws on the wisdom of such ancients as Hermes, Socrates, Sri Shantanand Saraswati, and many more, students gain confidence in the intelligence that is inherent in the present moment and the unlimited potential that is available to every human being.

This group was made to find and connect people with a similar view on life. The view being that life is pointless, but it's ok that it's pointless. Just cause life is pointless doesn't mean that you have to be miserable and not want to live any more... You are a human, and humans enjoy and love certain things... The meaning of life has no effect on what makes you happy and what doesn't .. It's just a "being realistic" kind of view, since there is no good reason for a person to believe otherwise. …

Not a political party, not an organization — an organically growing, non-partisan movement brewed up by Democracy Watch. If Canadians spent as much time writing politicians about their concerns as they spend buying, making and drinking coffee, we would have the good, democratic governments and responsible big businesses we want. Politicians get very worried if only a few hundred voters write to them. Unlike the Tea Party movement in the U.S., the CoffeeParty.ca movement is pushing only for well- …
