The great philosopher Socrates took Philosophy out of the realms of the elite-few and into the streets where, by promoting a method of inquiry among individuals, he challenged them to examine their own beliefs. Thus ensued an unraveling process for the individual, away from the world of appearances, towards Truth. Inspired by Socrates and in celebration of World Philosophy Day, a bunch of us Lovers of Wisdom created Philo-café. We aspire to conduct a similar Socratic dialogue, to bring together …

Hello and Welcome to the Red Line Book Club! (Formerly the Davis Square Book Club). "A book is like a garden carried in the pocket." This is a club where friendly interesting people meet to discuss the books we have all read together. If there is a general theme to the books we read, it's that we read "great" books: enduring classics and new books with lots of potential. You have the entire rest of the world with whom you can discuss Stieg Larsson; here we try to dig at least a little deeper. Fo …

Have you ever had the feeling that if only a woman could "get" where you're coming from and see who you really are, she would like you... but you get shot down before she has the chance? Have you ever been stumped about why after a few minutes of conversation, women disappear "to the bathroom", never to be seen again? Do you feel like there are some areas wher …

This is for anyone who ever wanted to play Hamlet--without the pretensions or the acting ability. First, we'll decide on a play, and then after discussing themes and underlying ideas, we'll cast it and read it out loud--as it the play were a script--which it is--and not a text. I'd like to discover Shakespeare, from the inside out. You don't have to Gielgud or even Mel Gibson. It will be fun to hear Shakespeare's words in our mouths.

In Nov 2012, Hao Chen stepped up to keep this meetup alive. The following description is from the ex-organizer: History/why I want to do this: As a young engineer in the late 90s/early 2000s I went to some loosely organized lunches with various industry pros, all architect/senior level working for many big names back then. Amazing things were discussed. It totally pierced my mind. Now, fast forward to 2012, I want to get everyone together to discuss tech, over some good food :) I want to keepin …

Once a month, we meet for an Out-of-Academia Workshop, which features a self-assessment exercise and an opportunity to discuss the ins and outs of moving into non-academic employment. …

This group is for everyone! Individuals, families, small business owners, self-employed, and anyone who wants to take control of their financial lives are welcome.
