What is this activity, and how does it use ?

Every Sunday at 11:11, we hang out at Petite Clouet or via Google Hangout.

The meetings started as a way to discuss vital ideas (see ). After ten meetings, we realized that our true joy was drinking cappuccinos and talking philosophy; we didn’t need prompts (see Note on Disbanding Prompts, 1/12/22).

We aim to hang with anyone who shows up on Sundays at 11:11 (+1 Strengthening Friendships, Strengthening My Family, and Strengthening My Love Partnership). The hangs lead to lots of Intellectual Expansion. When we get into a conversation, we normally look for ideas that are useful to our society (+1 for Strengthening Society). Any fever toward utilitarian ideas is always tempered by a desire for Inner Peace that everyone seems to share.

Our location is Petite Clouet. They have lots of Tasty Healthy Satisfaction and Sun Enjoyment. Many folks take a walk before or after the meeting (+1 for Physical Exercise). We also invite members outside of New Orleans via Google Hangouts and many iPads.

Many attendees hope to become philosophers when their bones ache, so these hangs Satisfies Life Ambitions.

Everyone is welcome! (ACX/LW readers, that also means you!)

What defines a “hang”?

Hangs don’t need to be defined too much. That’s because they shouldn’t amount to too much. They are similar to the purpose of Strengthening Friendships, but these hangs are focused on philosophic questions like What is health?
