I plan to attend. Discussing personal outlines is a fine topic IMO. We could also have "Q&A" time, in which anyone can pose a question on their minds about EP and everyone can discuss. I'm pretty sure everyone has questions they could ask, and there would be plenty of discussion, and hopefully some answers to questions posed. Cassius, I have no doubts you would be able to gracefully facilitate and keep things within the EF forum guidelines if things strayed off course. (If no one really knows the answer to a posed question or there is no consensus on the "answer", someone could be assigned to try to go after finding out more and bring that back to the group next week?)
Planning For A Weekly EpicureanFriends Zoom Meeting in 2022

It was great chatting with you. Nice to have an informal, relaxed opportunity to discuss ideas and questions. I hope this continues.
-
Some of the topics that came up in tonights Zoom meeting...I am not a very good note taker, and there was so much good stuff that came up...and there was a lot more than this:
-Epicurean physics: why does it matter?
---it is part of an alternate theory of where the world came from - a worldview not created by supernatural gods/god.
-Can you know anything or not, confidence in your conclusions
-when it is appropriate to take a position on the things you can't ever know
-senses don't lie, but your understanding can (?)
-the problem of civilization, seeking wealth as the road to pleasure, Wall of Diogenes of Oenoanda.
-Platonic absolutes, some absolute standard to conform to...but Epicurus says no...grounded on feelings and senses, and in the understanding of the way things are.
-
Sorry for missing out because I needed to focus on work to catch up with some backlog and forgot to carry my headset.
-
OK to be sure I understand correctly, the next meeting is tomorrow then, right? We're doing a Wednesday evening meeting this week, yes?
