Our Story
About Us
Social Change Begins with Critical Thinking. We are a group of diverse individuals, concerned with the events we see today.
Who We Are
For the past 20 years, we have created a platform where members can engage in meaningful debates and discussions on important topics, fostering the appreciation and significance of Critical Thinking within our community.
Our mission is to enhance critical thinking through open dialogue on pressing issues, empowering individuals to become rational thinkers and independent learners who are ready to take action.
“We are a collective of diverse individuals who care deeply about the current events shaping our world.”

What types of events do you organize?
We organize and lead discussion groups throughout Naples, FL, focused on broadening the practice of critical thinking through open-minded discussions on relevant issues.
How do the discussion groups work?
Each discussion begins with a moderator providing some initial context on the topic. Participants are then invited to share their thoughts, ensuring a respectful and constructive dialogue.
What are the guidelines for participation?
Participants are encouraged to listen thoughtfully and respond tactfully. Answers should be brief and directed to the moderator rather than to individuals. This helps maintain a focused and respectful atmosphere.
How do you ensure everyone has a chance to contribute?
Moderators strive to create an inclusive environment by making sure that anyone who wants to comment has the opportunity to do so, while also preventing any one person from dominating the conversation.
“My thoughts about our lives and the society within which we live, center around our ability to fathom our societal problems, and then, when we do, generate the will and motivation to play a role in impacting ourselves, others, and the society at large in a positive manner.”
