We meet on Thursday nights …

There are many "social" groups on this website, but suburbia offers few worthwhile opportunities to truly unearth like-minded people.  Less is more, so I would like to assemble a small group of people who relate to most of the following ideals: 1) You're a lifelong learner, intellectually curious, and motivated to learn things. Therefore, you're growing and evolving, and are rarely bored.  Engagement is the sine qua non of contentment. 2) You think for yourself. You're a critical thinker with re …

This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published.

While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …

We are born with genetic tendencies of succumbing to chronic, degenerative diseases that we inherit from our parents. We grow up being told that how our health goes as we age is mostly dictated by our genes. In my case, my father died from a heart attack at the age of 52. Heart attacks also claimed the lives of both of my grandfathers. It looks like the odds are against me. What if the foods we eat have more to do with the expression of our genetic tendencies than our genes? Over the last 12 y …

The world is awakening to the fact that free will is an illusion. Our group is about using this powerful truth to enhance our personal lives. If what we do is not really up to us, how does this change the way we see and react to each other and ourselves? If we can't logically blame or credit each other for anything, how do we evaluate and respond to what we do? If we're merely actors, and not the authors, of our acts, who are we really as human beings? These are just some of the questions we'll …

Dear God, Universe, Spirit, Can I call you GUS for short? I don't know what to call you, and I don't know where to find you. I've tried meditation, but I get distracted by shiny objects. I've tried vegetarianism, but get distracted by pulled pork sliders. I've tried chastity, but I think we all know how well that turned out. Of course, none of this is news to You, You being omniscient and all. So where do I go to connect with like-minded people? Where do I go to understand my connection with You …
