Enlightenment-style Salon Meetup?
If you're in the Southern California area, we could arrange to have a real Enlightenment-style intellectual meetup to talk about Enlightenment values or the philosophical ramifications of what happens to be my work's end-goal... which is to say we can discuss there possibly being fundamental laws of "morality" and strategy, which may be true due to Reason/Logic.
Sound fun?

that is not a church
but is really an appreciation club for Innocence and Nobility
Can't it be a beautiful day in the neighborhood for intelligent adults too?

I basically want to do what Mr. Rogers did for small children, but for adults. However, it's very difficult to articulate the ideas to accomplish such feats while maintaining complete validity. Until now, we've had far too little high quality philosophy that can help people to stay innocent and kind, though our society has suffered an abundance of vacuous platitudes and tripe that has been meant to do the job. The latter body of bogus baloney has generally been eschewed by the intelligentsia, and rightly so; and yet, those with high standards do need certain lessons too sometimes.
I have a solution: an appreciation club that revolves around two carefully-selected concepts that describe certain patterns in life. There's a lot to riff on here, and it may open your eyes.
Sound fun?

"For he would not suffer those who were called the honest and good (persons of worth and distinction) to be scattered up and down and mix themselves and be lost among the populace, as formerly, diminishing and obscuring their superiority amongst the masses; but taking them apart by themselves and uniting them in one body, by their combined weight he was able, as it were upon the balance, to make a counter-poise to the other party."
