About this event
**Trying something new:** *new place and new time.* **This will be the first time at BRYANT PARK.** **Start time: 4pm.** Let's meet by the READING AREA, next to the Chess Area. I will arrive early to try to grab some tables and chairs. I would welcome help. *** As usual, please **bring a simple question** for submission for possible discussion. Please frame the question in a **simple interrogative statement.** We follow **Christopher Phillips' format, from his book "Socrates Cafe."** **1.** Ideally, all attendees will submit ONE simple question. Keep it simple (ie: what is genuis?) **2.** Each attendee will have 2-3 minutes to explain their respective question, if they want. Be prepared to respond to any possible points of clarity from other attendees. **3\. Round ONE:** attendees vote for any question they want to discuss. Then, Jorge will tabulate the votes **4\. Round TWO:** top 2-3 questions are voted upon again. This round, attendees can ONLY VOTE for ONE QUESTION. **5.** Discuss *"winning question.*" Historically, we have discussed top two questions, when circumstances permit. ***Jorge will facilitate the discussion/conversation.*** **Reminders:** Be **open-minded**, bring your **curiosity**. It's about **Discovery.** Always be **Respectful** and **open to the perspective** of others. And be **concise.** **NOTE:** If and when possible, please donate to help defray the annual fees from Meetup.com. Suggested amount \~$15-$20 once a year. **Zelle** to **917 613.9736.** Thank you. always with gratitude, Jorge
