Welcome to the TEDxMIA group, representing South Florida. The great diversity of Miami has the potential of becoming a leading example of a city operating from a cultural modernist lens. We can foster the growth of the intellectual expansion of our city through innovation, collaboration, and by the sharing of ideas. Stay tuned for upcoming events. What is TEDx? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that br …

Socrates Cafe of Wellington, FL Socrates said “the unexamined life is not worth living” and asked questions of almost everyone.  Philosophy is the "love of wisdom" and even if you haven't studied it, you can discuss philosophical questions.  Across the world, Socrates Cafes are bringing a fresh taste of philosophy back to the people!  And who says it must be boring? In our Socrates Cafe, we ask questions such as: What is love? What is truth? Why be moral? What is the good life? Can you be too h …

"An unquestioned answer is worse than an unanswered question." Like that old, soulful U2 rock anthem, do you sometimes find yourself singing "I still haven't found what I'm looking for?" Or maybe you find yourself “losing your religion" just like that classic R.E.M. song says. "I cant Live... with or without you" might perfectly describe your relationship with the institutional church... But in any case, you definitely feel emotionally distant from the Christian spirituality and Sunday worship y …

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 …

After sampling the book groups throughout the greater Fort Lauderdale area it occurred to me the area was devoid of a co-ed group tailored toward smart young professionals. There are a large number of great groups for women, but my gender proscribed my participation in them. Therefore, with the hopes of filling the gender gap, I am creating the "Libation and Literature" book group. The group will cater towards achieving the fine balance of socialization and substantive discussion. The group will …

If you are passionate about Classical Music, Literature, Film and Art, love Archeology, History, and Antique Roadshow - then these get together's are for you! Discussions will be on a high plain with perhaps an in depth lecture on the unknown composers working during Beethoven's day, a comparison between the late art of Van Gogh and Gauguin or the German Expressionist Film Directors working in Hollywood during the Silent Era - all followed by by a discussion with plenty of humor, wit and cheer. …

This is a group for people who want to discuss the whole range of Human activity from Anthropology to Zen. Every subject would be open for discussion. It is for people who may have "A" truth but not for people who have "THE" truth. It is for people who want to think things through. These folks do not have to be intellectuals or consider themselves smart (what is smart anyway?). It is for people willing to venture into other peoples truths and who are open to discussing all ideas without fear or …

If you are dis-satisfied with the leaders of Today, then this is a good group for you. My name is Mike, I am a young man who is fed up with all the nonsense and total B.S. that our politicians want us to believe. I am a believer in the constitution, freedom, and fairness. If you share these values, than you are welcome to come check us out, and join the cause.

This is a group for lovers of freedom and happiness. This church is a place where people can share their love and wisdom with others without fear. As this groups founder, it is my wish to build a community where good deeds and honesty is rewarded, rather than punished. Please consider joining us and helping our cause.

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.

The group will give us a chance to meet for all sort of activities; eating out, movies, discussions, religious occasions, travel,...Looking forward to meet you and have fun time together. Since the first word of the Islamic script was Iqra' (Read), I'm naming us the Readers :)

The group's primary goal is to bring together like-minded individuals to get to know one another, plan activities, and spread awareness. This group was formed hoping to bring together a large group of atheists or non-believers. Once we get enough members ... we can start planning activities and whatnot.

This group is created to network with VA College Alumni that live in the Miami Beach area. A lot of Alumni from Virginia may find it difficult to meet new people in the Miami area, so I created this group as a social network to meet other alumni. What better way to meet people than to have Happy Hours, Mixers, bowling nights, outdoor activities and other social events? I am a James Madison University alumni looking to meet other fellow alumni from Virginia in the Miami area. Join this group if y …

The main focus of this group is to attract atheist and agnostics in order to find/date others with same view. Started this group since it is so difficult to find others with same interest. All activities are welcome, remember we are here to have a good time! Really looking forward to explore this venue with all of you.

This book club is for anyone interested in reading books with an LBGT theme.

This group is open to 30-65+ women in Delray and Boca with different points of view who are interested in movies, discussions, fiction and non-fiction books/literature, dining out, and meeting others with the same interests. This is also a group where members can share their knowledge, talents, advice, and experiences.

If you find that each answer seems to just raise more questions then I hope this is the group for you. If you like knowing the reason behind the answer more then the answer itself then I hope this is the group for you. If you enjoy philosophical discussions more then blind acceptance then I hope this is the group for you. Finally if you wish to make new nonjudgmental friends I know this is the group for you.

This is a group for people who organize and/or host meet ups in Miami. The mission of this group is to bring the Miami meet up community leaders together to build a strong, well networked, society of members to further the advancement of the community as a whole.
