The frequently overlooked advantage of talking to strangers is being able to say what’s on one’s mind with less danger of being judged/offending loved ones/losing one’s jobs. I founded this bi-monthly(-ish) public event in 2021 to benefit from this phenomenon. Once every two months or so 12-16 people who don’t know each other get together to share a drink or two and discuss unmentionable things. Events are in Berlin. Want to attend? More info and register here. If you are an attendee who signed up for an event and is now desperately trying to find us drop a message in the signal group here.
* (events are run with W.E.I.R.Do [White, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, Democratic] blinders on, so challenges and criticism to that effect are encouraged.)
