A Playground for the Mind

Hosting public philosophy discussion forums since 2015.

Currently based out of Palo Alto, we have had nearly 200 successful meetings.

Branching out from a study group at the University of Anchorage Alaska, Philosophy Throwdown has brought hundreds of people together for nearly a decade in engaging and enriching discussions on a huge breadth of subjects.

About us

We are a very casual and all inclusive group that truly believes everyone who has ever breathed has had deep thoughts, you don’t need any background in philosophy to join in – we’ll teach you the academic jargon.

Our Past meetings

I will post all of our previous topics and this will go with a gallery for any posters I had made to go with them.

Extra Curriculars – our upcoming invitational group for effecting positive change in the greater community.
