is our last Meetup of the year.\n\nMEN and WOMEN\n\nBiological differences and cultural ones.\n\nMore rights for women and the social outcomes.\n\nToxic masculinity and toxic femininity.\n\nMe-Too: the history and the consequences.\n\nAttitudes to extra-marital affairs, separation, divorce, and child custody issues.\n\nWhy are more women than men now graduating from university?\n\nAre white men the new oppressed minority?\n\nAre emotionally driven people less suited to major leadership roles?\n\nIf you could convey one important message to the opposite sex, what would that be?\n\nIf you are on a first date, who should pay for the coffee and why?\n\\*\\*\\*\n\nCUSTOMS:\nYou must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.\n\nMinimum spend of $10 at the cafe on food and/or drink. This enables us to have free use of their private room.\n\nWe meet UPSTAIRS at the Little Turkish Cafe.\n\nPlease arrive early to order food and/or drink before you join us. Several people arrive early and eat downstairs before the Meetup. You are welcome to join us.\n\nBring $1 to cover Meetup costs.\n\nRSVP POLICY:\n\nRSVPs and cancellations will be accepted up until 6 hours before the start of the meetup so that people who feel unwell on the day have time to change their RSVP and allow someone else to attend.\n\nBeing registered to attend and not attending OR cancelling your attendance after 12:30pm on Tuesday will be considered a 'No Show'.\nMembers with two 'No Shows' will be banned from attending further D&M Meetups.\n\nThis RSVP policy has become necessary due to the high number of last minute withdrawals and non-attendance. This unfairly causes people on the Waiting List to miss out.

Ideally, you might like to read something you have written yourself – whether it is finished, experimental, or simply a fragment you feel drawn to explore. If you prefer, you are just as welcome to bring a poem written by someone else that resonates with you. Choose something you are happy to read aloud and discuss, and that opens a window into why it speaks to you.\n\n**Important note:** The meetup runs for 1.5 hours. Please understand that its success relies on ALL participants bringing along at least one piece of poetry to be read and discussed. If you are unable to present and discuss your poem(s) to the group, please skip this meetup, as its success depends on everyone's contribution.\n\nPoetry offers us a unique way of engaging with experience. The act of writing a poem distils thoughts and feelings into language sharpened by rhythm, imagery, and silence. It encourages reflection, emotional clarity, and the courage to say something personal in a crafted, thoughtful way. Reading poetry invites us into another mind’s way of seeing, providing a bridge between inner worlds.\n\nSharing poems—our own or those we love—helps us practice deep listening, gentle interpretation, and open-hearted conversation. Together, we will explore what the poems reveal, what they question, and how they make us feel. No prior experience with poetry is required; just bring curiosity, presence, and a willingness to engage with meaning in its most concentrated form.\n\nWhether you are a seasoned writer or someone rediscovering the pleasure of verse, this evening promises a warm, creative, and reflective space in which to connect.\n\nYou must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.\nMinimum spend of $10 at the cafe on food and/or drink.

Several people arrive early and eat downstairs before the Meetup. You are welcome to join us.\n\nBring $1 to cover Meetup costs.\n\nRSVP POLICY:\n\nRSVPs and cancellations will be accepted up until 6 hours before the start of the meetup so that people who feel unwell on the day have time to change their RSVP and allow someone else to attend.\n\nBeing registered to attend and not attending OR cancelling your attendance after 12:30pm on Tuesday will be considered a 'No Show'.\nMembers with two 'No Shows' will be banned from attending further D&M Meetups.\n\nThis RSVP policy has become necessary due to the high number of last minute withdrawals and non-attendance.

The ‘feeling’ aspect places nostalgia squarely within the subjective experience of the individual and may assist us in understanding its origin, its purposes and its effects.\n\nNostalgia allows an idealised reimagining of the past while filtering out the complexities and imperfections of the reality in which that past was lived.\n\nLet’s explore the following thought prompts, each both at an individual and collective/societal level:\n\n* What causes nostalgia? Subjective experience or collective zeitgeist?\n* What purposes does nostalgia serve?\n* How does nostalgia influence us positively and/or negatively?\n* Is nostalgia something that we should strive to minimise or eliminate, or relish?\n* How does nostalgia strengthen us?\n* How does nostalgia leave us vulnerable?\n\nWhat is your experience of nostalgia in your own life? If you feel comfortable doing so, think about some personal examples to share.\n\nBelow are a few links to some thought-provoking YouTube videos:\n\n* [https://youtu.be/-6FgxxB7jhk?si=MAbqhhADi_xpyYRU](https://youtu.be/-6FgxxB7jhk?si=MAbqhhADi_xpyYRU) (Why Gen Z Misses a time they never knew)\n* [https://youtu.be/_RZ-w4hU8Dw?si=Cjg6Y0osG9MD6pQP](https://youtu.be/_RZ-w4hU8Dw?si=Cjg6Y0osG9MD6pQP) (The world you grew up in no longer exists)\n* [https://youtu.be/coGfGmOeLjE?si=QwiA6KD2dy0ET0LS](https://youtu.be/coGfGmOeLjE?si=QwiA6KD2dy0ET0LS) (Why do we feel nostalgia)\n\n***\n\nCUSTOMS:\nYou must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.\nMinimum spend of $10 at the cafe on food and/or drink.

Let's get together once a month to discuss a book that has relevance in today's world.\n\nThis month's book is **\"Man's Search For Meaning\" by** Viktor Frankl\n\nThe book chronicles Frankl's experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, and describing his psychotherapeutic method, which involved identifying a purpose to each person's life through one of three ways:\n\n* the completion of tasks,\n* caring for another person, or\n* finding meaning by facing suffering with dignity.\n\nFrankl observed that among the fellow inmates in the concentration camp, those who survived were able to connect with a purpose in life to feel positive about and who then immersed themselves in imagining that purpose in their own way, such as conversing with a loved one.\n\n***Points for discussion:***\n\n1. ***Is meaning the primary human drive?***\nFrankl argues that the search for meaning—not pleasure or power—is the central human motivation. Can meaning truly override survival instincts, pleasure-seeking, or status ambition?\n2. ***Can suffering be meaningful?***\nFrankl suggests that suffering, when unavoidable, can be transformed into purpose. Is this empowering or dangerously romanticizing trauma?\n3. ***Do humans always retain freedom of choice***\nEven in extreme conditions, Frankl insists we can choose our attitude. Is this universally true, or does it overlook psychological and systemic constraints?\n4. ***Responsibility vs. Freedom***\n5. Frankl believed that freedom must be paired with responsibility to avoid nihilism. How should societies balance individual liberty with collective duty?\n\n**CUSTOMS:**\nYou must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.\nPlease bring $2 to cover Meetup costs.\n\n**RSVP POLICY:**\nRSVPs and cancellations will be accepted up until 6 hours before the start of the meetup so that people who feel unwell on the day have time to change their RSVP and allow someone else to attend.\n\n***Please only click 'attend' if you are going to come, and remember to change your RSVP if you need to change plans.***\n\n**No-shows will be removed from the group**; i.e. being registered to attend and not attending OR cancelling your attendance after 11:00am on the day will be considered a 'No Show'.\nThis RSVP policy has become necessary due to the high number of last-minute withdrawals and non-attendance.

If you haven't attended before, please come along and join in as much, or as little, as you like.\n\nThe questions below will help guide our discussion:\n\n* In modernity, stoicism has been synonymised with emotional suppression. Although we may disagree, is there a reason why this conflation took hold?\n* Could the logical conclusion of stoicism be that it leads to an emotionally neutral life? If true, do we really want to live in an emotionally neutral world?\n* Just because humans can have emotions and be emotive, does it mean we should?\n* Are positive emotions better than negative emotions?\n* What about emotions displayed at the extremes of the continuum, positive or negative?\n* In some cultures, showing emotion is a good thing. In others, not so much. Who is right, who is wrong?\n* When does emotion, positive or negative, lead us wrong? When does it lead us right?\n* Should some levels of emotion be allowed, or should they all be channelled and overcome?\n* What is the 'right' quantum of emotion?\n\n***\n\n***New to Stoicism?*** *Here is a basics video to help get you started.*\n[https://youtu.be/R9OCA6UFE-0?si=4TGe8meyIGjYvVPa](https://youtu.be/R9OCA6UFE-0?si=4TGe8meyIGjYvVPa)\n\n***\n\n***Disclaimer:***\nWe are a group of people interested in Stoicism.

Let's get together once a month to discuss a book that has relevance in today's world.\n\nThis month's book is **\"An Enemy of the People\"** \\- an 1882 play by **Henrik Ibsen** that explores the conflict between truth and societal pressure, focusing on Dr. Thomas Stockmann's struggle against the community's denial of a public health crisis.\n\nThe play centers on Dr. Thomas Stockmann, a medical officer who discovers that the water in the public baths of his small Norwegian town is contaminated. This contamination poses a serious health risk to the townspeople, and Stockmann is determined to expose the truth. However, when he attempts to publicize his findings, he faces fierce opposition from local authorities, including his brother Peter Stockmann, who is the mayor. The community prioritizes economic interests over public health, leading to a dramatic conflict between individual integrity and collective denial.\n\nPoints for discussion:\n\n1. ***Is the majority always right?***\nDr. Stockmann’s discovery of contaminated water is rejected by the townspeople, who prioritize economic interests. Should truth be subject to popular opinion, or does it stand independent of democratic consensus?\n2. ***The tyranny of the majority***\nThe play questions whether democratic systems can suppress inconvenient truths. Can democracy become oppressive when driven by self-interest?\n***Personal conscience vs. public pressure***\n3. Stockmann refuses to retract his findings, even when ostracized. Is moral integrity worth sacrificing social acceptance and livelihood?\n4. ***Science vs. politics***\nThe play pits empirical evidence against political expediency. Should scientific truth ever be compromised for economic or political stability?\n5. ***Role of the press***\nInitially supportive, the local newspaper turns against Stockmann under pressure. Should media serve truth or reflect public sentiment?\n6. ***Economic interests vs. public health***\nThe town fears losing revenue from its spa if the contamination is revealed. How should governments balance economic prosperity with ethical responsibility?\n7. ***Freedom of speech***\nStockmann is denied a public platform to share his findings. Is free speech truly protected when it threatens the status quo?\n8. ***Mob mentality and scapegoating***\nThe town brands Stockmann “an enemy of the people” to preserve unity. How do communities decide who to silence or vilify?\n9. ***Family loyalty vs. civic duty***\nStockmann’s conflict with his brother, the mayor, underscores personal vs. public allegiance. Should family ties influence political decisions?\n\n**CUSTOMS:**\nYou must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.\nPlease bring $2 to cover Meetup costs.\n\n**RSVP POLICY:**\nRSVPs and cancellations will be accepted up until 6 hours before the start of the meetup so that people who feel unwell on the day have time to change their RSVP and allow someone else to attend.\n\n***Please only click 'attend' if you are going to come, and remember to change your RSVP if you need to change plans.***\n\n**No-shows will be removed from the group**; i.e. being registered to attend and not attending OR cancelling your attendance after 11:00am on the day will be considered a 'No Show'.\nThis RSVP policy has become necessary due to the high number of last-minute withdrawals and non-attendance.

In liberal democracies, all citizens should be treated equally under the law by abstracting the common identity of “citizen” from the real social, cultural, political, and economic positions and identities of real members of society.\n\nThere are two primary objections to multiculturalism. One is that multiculturalism privileges the good of certain groups over the common good, thereby potentially eroding the common good in favour of a minority interest. National unity could become impossible if people see themselves as members of ethnic or racial groups rather than as citizens of a common country. The second is that multiculturalism undermines the notion of equal individual rights, thereby weakening the political value of equal treatment. Equal individual rights could be set aside or deprecated in favour of rights that are possessed by the group.\n\nSee also:\n[Multiculturalism - Diversity, Inclusion, Equality | Britannica](https://www.britannica.com/topic/multiculturalism/Challenges-to-multiculturalism)\n[Multiculturalism: A Bad Idea | 5 Minute Videos | PragerU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmRORoS1FC8)\n[Thomas Sowell - The Reality Of Multiculturalism](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ESlS2jrhXY)\n\nThe online meetings will use Microsoft Teams, which will work in a browser but will works better using the app, which you can download from:\n[Download Microsoft Teams Desktop and Mobile Apps | Microsoft Teams](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app)\nFor a guide see:\n[Get started with Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-started-with-microsoft-teams-b98d533f-118e-4bae-bf44-3df2470c2b12)","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1757314400000","seoName":"auckland-deep-thinkers-online-multiculturalism","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://nz.ok.com/en/city-waitakere/cate-classes-lessons/auckland-deep-thinkers-online-multiculturalism-6365624321049811/","localIds":null,"cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"e00cec6a-5b9a-41d2-8f43-f70b4689f5a5","sid":"bb7d93c5-0d39-490e-94ff-16a10a8f2a3d"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1757314400082,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","isFavorite":false},{"category":"6703,6706","location":"31 Northcote Road, Hillcrest, Auckland 0627, New Zealand","infoId":"6365486880601711","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/8/1/3/highres_529894835.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Visa Made Simple: Insider Tips & Q&A With a Migration Pro","content":"**Visa Made Simple: Insider Tips & Q&A With a Migration Pro**\n\nTake the stress out of your Australian visa journey!

On the positive side, they often provide love, support, and a sense of belonging that helps people feel grounded. Families can share responsibilities, celebrate achievements together, and create lasting memories through traditions and shared experiences. They can also offer guidance, security, and practical help in times of need.\n\nOn the downside, families are not always harmonious. Conflicts can arise from differing values, expectations, or lifestyles. Close ties may also lead to pressure, a lack of privacy, or difficulty in pursuing independence. In some cases, unresolved tensions or patterns of behaviour can cause ongoing strain.\n\nIn this meetup, you are invited to explore how individuals balance the benefits of connection with the need for personal space, and how families can adapt to support both closeness and independence.\n\nYou must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.\nMinimum spend of $10 at the cafe on food and/or drink.

The late posting of the topic then and possibly the weather meant that many Deep Thinkers were deprived of the opportunity to discuss the topic the first time around, so this is your second chance!\n\n____________________________________\n\nThroughout existence, one of the few constants has been the existence of conflict in one form or another. Be it the formation of matter, the rise and fall of empires or the relative merits of a flat white or a latte, conflict lies as a discordant undercurrent, imposing constraints and facilitating change - be that destruction or renewal. Let’s discuss the dynamics of conflict and how we might approach it in our everyday life.\n\nThoughts to prompt contemplation and discussion are:\n\n* Is conflict inevitable?\n\n* If so, what factors make it inevitable?\n\n* If not, how has/can it be averted?\n\n* Is conflict necessarily destructive? What processes/techniques/devices could be utilised to minimise the destructiveness of conflict when it arises?\n\n* What different factors are engaged in inter-tribal and inter-personal conflict?\n\n* Do any common threads run through all conflicts (e.g. material, institutional, inter-personal, internal, etc.)?\n\n* What motivates us as individuals to avoid, embrace or create conflict in our lives?\n\n* Does any given conflict necessarily reach resolution? Does the answer to that question simply depend on who answers (e.g. the victor declares victory), or is a more objective definition of resolution possible? What could that definition be?\n\n* Do different aspects of life (e.g. professional, social, familial) require different approaches to conflict and if so, why?\n\n* Could some conflict resolution principles be universally effective?\n\n____________________________________\n\nCUSTOMS:\n\nYou must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.\n\nMinimum spend of $10 at the cafe on food and/or drink.

Reinvention, however, is not necessary; in fact, the Stoics garnered from the wisdom of those who came before: Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. As 21st century stoics, what can we add to the basic tenets of Stoicism? What if Zeno of Citium, Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius knew what we know now, especially in the fields of psychology and neuroscience? What would an evolved version of Stoicism look like and how would it lead to _eudaimonia_ (the good life)? Can _dichotomy of control_ be distilled as _locus of control_? Can _introspection_ be stacked with _interoception_ to gain deeper personal insight? Can we transmute _andreia_ (courage/fortitude) further into _antifragility_ (resilience 2.0)? Can Stoicism be made more inclusive to consider the neurodivergent and folks with diminished self-awareness?\n\nUsing social tinkering, we will deviate slightly from the usual meetup format through social experimentation and collaborative participation—participants are encouraged to discuss less and experience more. Expect a departure from the conceptual discussion of Stoicism, the philosophy, while still exploring stoicism, the mindset. The aim is to expand our stoic skillset, as we go beyond _logic_ (reasoning) and _ethics_ (virtues) to venture into _physics_ (nature) and, additionally, _soma_ (body) in aspiring for psychological flexibility and a stoic mindset. Beyond the concept of _ataraxia_ (unperturbedness + equanimity + stillness), we can further our exploration to encompass _antifragility_ by effectively addressing constraints and expanding our nervous system’s window of tolerance.\n\nSince this meetup will veer away, somewhat, from our usual format of open and conceptual discussion, you may expect this to be more of a directed interactive workshop that will suit the stoicurious and the neuronerds amongst us. As we attempt to fuse ancient wisdom with recent studies in health science, you’ll come away with practicable skills that you can add to your daily stoic practice. Consider this your stoic expansion pack, as we explore bottom up techniques to foster a stoic mindset.\n\nP.S.: Prepare to get a bit physical!","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1757303540000","seoName":"ataraxia-tranquility-thru-embodied-cognition","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://nz.ok.com/en/city-waitakere/cate-classes-lessons/ataraxia-tranquility-thru-embodied-cognition-6365485314009811/","localIds":null,"cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"eb5a7a13-139d-4a97-81c5-7e0c33ccb38e","sid":"bb7d93c5-0d39-490e-94ff-16a10a8f2a3d"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1757303540156,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","isFavorite":false},{"category":"6703,6706","location":"40 Vermont Street, Ponsonby, Auckland 1011, New Zealand","infoId":"6365485310477011","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/8/8/2/highres_528767234.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Movie Matinee: \"The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future\"","content":"In fiction and fact, there have always been people and organisations with ambitions to control the world. And now the oligarchs who pull the strings of finance and power finally have the tools to achieve their global objectives; omnipresent surveillance, artificial intelligence, digital currency and ultimately digital identities. The potential for social control of our lives and minds is alarmingly real.\n\nThe plan has been decades in the making and has seen infiltration of Governments, local councils, big business, civil society, the media and, crucially, education. A ceaseless push for a new reality, echoing Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, or George Orwell’s 1984.\n\n***The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future*** examines the digital prison which awaits us if we do not push back right now. How your food, energy, money, travel and even your access to the internet could be limited and controlled; how financial power is strangling democracy and how global institutions like the World Health Organisation are commandeered to champion ideological and fiscal objectives.\n\nThe centrepiece is man-made climate change and with it, the race to Net Zero. Both are encapsulated in the United Nations and its Agenda 2030. A force for good?

Aldous Huxley.\n\nDo you think there a realm after death beyond that of compostable material? Whatever your view, what convinces you of that perspective?\n\nIs there fate?\n\nIs there free will?\n\nIf you have been with someone during, or soon before death, what was your experience?\n\nIf you knew you would die in two years’ time, what choices would you make now?\n\nLooking back on your life, what do you wish you had done differently?\n\nDo you have a will? If so, how in essence are your assets gifted?\n\nDo you want a funeral, and, if so, what type?\n\nHow would you characterise a good, and a bad, way to die?\n\nWhat do you want to be remembered for?\n\nLet’s discuss the ultimate reality of life.\n\n\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\n\nCUSTOMS:\nYou must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.\n\nMinimum spend of $10 at the cafe on food and/or drink. This enables us to have free use of their private room.\n\nWe meet UPSTAIRS at the Little Turkish Cafe.\n\nPlease arrive early to order food and/or drink before you join us. Several people arrive early and eat downstairs before the Meetup. You are welcome to join us.\n\nBring $1 to cover Meetup costs.\n\nRSVP POLICY:\nRSVPs and cancellations will be accepted up until 6 hours before the start of the meetup so that people who feel unwell on the day have time to change their RSVP and allow someone else to attend.\n\nBeing registered to attend and not attending OR cancelling your attendance after 12:30pm on Tuesday will be considered a 'No Show'.\n\nMembers with two 'No Shows' will be banned from attending further D&M Meetups. This RSVP policy has become necessary due to the high number of last minute withdrawals and non-attendance. This unfairly causes people on the Waiting List to miss out.
