Writers Meetup in the West Village
Tue, May 26, 10:00 PM**Itinerary** People are welcome starting at **6 o'clock**, and you can come and meet other writers, enjoy a happy hour, socialize and hang out as you like until 7 when we will start readings. At **7 o'clock** we formally get together as a group to listen to readings from those looking for feedback. * We do not select readers based on order of arrival or a sign-up sheet, so if you have work until late but still want to come and read, you can! * Each reader gets five (5) minutes to read, so please select a section of work which is appropriate for that time limit. * We welcome narrative prose (fiction and non-fiction), poetry, the occasional essay, and scripts (be they for screen or stage), so long as it is writing that you're serious about. Please no ad copy, journal entries, memes, musings, idea pitches, works where performance is more critical than the writing, or other errata. Nothing AI, if that needs saying. * We'll then spend another five (5) minutes in discussion. This is time for the listeners to provide feedback on the reading and discussing the craft in general. We welcome (and encourage) constructive criticism, so long as it is done with respect. This is just as important as the reading, and is done as an open conversation not lead by the reader or the host, so no hand raising required! * We try to get to as many people who want to read as we can, so if there are a lot of attendees we will be very strict on time. * We take a short break at **8 o'clock** . At **9 o'clock** we finish readings and start our formal social hour. Meet new friends, connect with old ones, exchange longer works for review, or just let loose.
On Truth in Politics by Michael Lynch Week 1
Sat, Jun 6, 2:00 PMDoes truth matter in politics anymore or is it just about power? With so much of our political discourse influenced by social media algorithms and the echo chambers we tend to find ourselves in one starts to wonder what role does, and/or should, some kind of overarching truth play in our public discourse. Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth is indispensable for democracy and he reminds us that our relationship to truth is never fully determined. The goals of this work are to describe what kind of truth is vital for democracy, the pivotal role it should play in a healthy society, and how we can take steps to correct our misalignment in values. Participants should read the entire reading before attending this in person meeting. For the first week we will read p. 1-97. I will be reading from this version [here](https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Politics-Why-Democracy-Demands/dp/0691231931). For questions please send me a message or post to meetup. Best, Brian
