The Philosophy Club meets Friday afternoons at Lake Miona Recreation Center in The Villages, FL.  Meetings start promptly at 4:00PM and end at 5:30PM. Presenters usually speak for 25 to 45 minutes, followed by a Discussion Period where the Leader and Audience Members ask Questions and express their Opinions, and the Presenter replies.
COMING ATTRACTIONS:

Friday,     2/20     John Shewchuk     "Hurricanes and the Fujiwhara Effect"
Learn about the fascinating dance hurricanes perform when one storm enters the personal space of another storm.  Depending on the relative size differences and the trajectory of each storm, the storms can engage in a temporary dance and then separate, or the larger storm may even completely absorb the smaller storm as the bigger one gains strength.  Also learn about how and why hurricanes travel in unusual patterns and tracks.

Friday,     2/27      Drake Shepard      "John D. Rockefeller Tells All"
Rockefeller comes alive and tells his rags to riches story detailing his life and how he transformed the once chaotic and mismanaged early oil industry into what it is today. He will discuss his aggressive, ruthless business tactics that made him an infamous robber baron by living up to his motto "Competition is a sin."  His core values, however changed over time and he became a major American philanthropist. This is a personal, powerful story about redemption, giving back and self determination.

Friday,       3/6       Steve Andelman       "A Plan to Improve Overall Health and Control Costs"

Friday,       3/13      Will Tuttle                 "Seven Keys to Cultivating our Intuitive Wisdom"
Insights from the world’s philosophical and religious systems that help us develop and deepen our intuition. Intuition is knowing that comes from our inner wisdom, beyond mere thinking and the inner dialog of our conditioned mind. It is our inner guidance system, and helps us to live our lives fully and authentically.

Friday,        3/20       Peter Irwin                "Are U.S. Drug Laws Rational?"
Some of the U.S. demand for drugs of abuse is being met by international suppliers.  If trafficking in these drugs is used as a rationale for international US military action resulting in over 100 targeted deaths, ought not US drug laws meet criteria for rationality?

Friday,          3/27       Drake Shepard        "Passage To Adventure"
Join Drake and his wife Bev for a breathtaking 180 day ocean liner cruise around the world.
