"The purpose of life is to be happy," says the Dalai Lama. Some people think this is a selfish attitude, but in Buddhism, everyone deserves to be happy, including ourselves.  Also, unless we are happy we can't really help others much, and Buddhism is all about helping people be happy and peaceful. According to Buddhism, the mind is both the cause of and the solution to most of our problems. Fortunately, through meditation, an ethical life, and the development of wisdom, we can train ourselves to …

If you're reading this, it's because you're interested in the Great Books, also known as "the classics".   Awesome!    There is a misconception that the Great Books were written for specialists in philosophy or Ivy League scholars.  This is simply not true.  For centuries, they instructed everyone, including children. This group is dedicated to continuing that tradition, and was formed with the idea that everyone can read,  interpret, and discuss the Great Books.  They cover a wide variety of su …

Worker-owned enterprises are an alternative to both private ownership of the means of production (capitalism) and state ownership of the means of production (socialism). Libertarian socialists are just as skeptical of state-run enterprises as they are of privately-owned enterprises. Worker-employee ownership avoids the problems of both but it has practical challenges of its own. This meetup is for everyone that wants to know more about this alternative as well as those who have started or want …

The Volusia County Campaign for Liberty Meetup Group's purpose is to effectively influence and educate our immediate community about the benefits of returning to a limited government that abides by the Constitution and defends the principles of individual liberty. We also advocate a government that employs a sound monetary policy within true free markets, and abides by a non-interventionist foreign policy. I decided to start this group because I have fully come to the conclusion that a Republic …

Note: I recently deleted all members as this has been a more general philosophy group.  I found that people who believe they are "free-thinkers" tend to have their ideas begin and end with the state solving all problems.  This annoyed me. SO... I don't care if there are only three of us in the area, I think anyone who is a fan of Voluntaryism and the Non-Agression Principle (NAP) will be a good friend of mine! Shoot me a note, let's have a beer, talk philosophy and freedom, ride bikes, shoot gun …

Read and Discuss the Modern Translation of The Sumerian Tablets in order to know their value and understand their relevance to individuals and Humanity collectively.

It's time to take another look at some of those books we read (or pretended to read) in high school or college. If you went to high school in the 40s or 50s, you actually read books! Authors of fiction such as Dickens, Tolstoy, Camus, Kipling, and Elliott are some of the ones to re-consider. Then there's all that nonfiction, of course, especially the ones we were supposed to read in history, social studies, anthropology and philosophy classes. I've discovered that now, as a gray-haired grandma, …
