Is World Peace Possible?

About this event

\*\*The posted start time is for anyone on the East Coast or for those who like to come on earlier. I will be coming on 3 hours later (7:30pm PST) to kick things off officially but the room will be open for anyone wanting to come on earlier.\*\* World Peace. Sounds nice doesn't it? We've been around what, 200,000 years now? Are we on the right trajectory to achieve world peace? Will we ever get there? Do we WANT to get there? What even is World Peace? No one ever fights each other ever again? Do prisons exist in World Peace? Is it just peace among foreign nations or within the borders of each country? What should we be willing to sacrifice for the sake of World Peace? Certain freedoms or privileges? Once we achieve World Peace, what must we do to maintain it? Technically speaking if there's a moment in the world where no one is fighting anywhere, even just for a second, would that count as a brief moment of world peace? What are your thoughts? How often do you think about World Peace and whether it is a feasible or even desirable idea? Come join us for a fun and thought provoking discussion. All views welcome, and respect for others is a must (or at least try). If we cannot maintain peace on a simple Zoom call, then I give up. All hope is lost. Rule Of Etiquette: The goal is to have a productive free-flowing discussion, while also giving everyone a fair chance to participate accordingly. Aside from a natural flowing conversation we will honor hands that are raised and if necessary, use a loosely enforced 3-minute timer. Green Checks for people to make only a quick point or question between turns. If there's a lot of people waiting to speak we'll adjust the format as needed; the goal is to allow as many people to speak as possible while maintaining a natural flow. Hope you can join us!
