… From that point,  the book club members will vote on a great classic from some of the brilliant classic authors available The reason I started this club  is because I wanted to build a place in the Main Line area where people can have the chance to escape into a great book.

This is a group for parents (or potential parents) to share ideas about non-authoritarian parenting. The whole family is invited, but some events may be more appropriate than others for young children. Blind obedience to authority is the plague of our society. Many are coming to understand that the root of this problem is in the family. Traditional parenting often teaches "might makes right" and "obedience is a virtue." This is a group to explore the alternatives, including collaborative p …

Hi, folks! The other day I head NPR interview Clay Johnson, the author of a new book called The Information Diet. It's about how we can take conscious measures to overcome our natural tendency toward confirmation bias, i.e., only seeking out and taking in information that reinforces what we already believe. This has motivated me to start a study group. Beyond discussing the book itself, we could meet in an ongoing way to assist one another in overcoming bias.

When Skinner wrote Walden Two in the summer of 1945, Hitler was dead, the Depression was forgotten, Russia was a trusted ally, Hiroshima hadn't been nuked, and wisps of smog seemed to be the environment's greatest threat.  In that idyllic historical context, Skinner's blueprint defined "an environment in which people [would] just naturally do the things they need to do to maintain themselves (with something to spare for the future) and trust each other well, and then just naturally do a hundred …
