Don't you think the best discussions are had over a hot cuppa tea?
Philosophy with Tea is a casual group for big thinkers and wild dreamers, conceived by Trent Sellars. In each series, we'll unpack questions about life, humanity, and the messy art of being alive. No academic jargon or prerequisites required—just good company, challenging ideas, and a fresh brew.
Series 1: Decision-Making
Series 1: Decision-Making
How do we make impossible choices? What makes a human life valuable? Our first six-week series explores the messy, fascinating world of decision-making through the ultimate thought experiment: a high-stakes doomsday bunker scenario. We’ll be arguing our way through the ethics of survival, vulnerability, and who gets to play God. No philosophy background or commitment needed—just drop in with your cuppa tea and opinions.
Kickoff: Wednesday, July 8
Time: 6:30 PM AEST (just one hour a week!)
