History: The Pandemic Campfire

From 2020 through the pandemic years, the Philosophy Guild kept a small fire burning on Wednesday nights at 8PM via Jitsi. The conversations were informal — drop in, drop out, no agenda, no formal introductions — and drew both Noisebridgers and people who had never set foot in the space. Some of the most sustained intellectual intimacy of that era happened in those calls.

A Facebook group served as a gathering point during this time. That chapter has drawn to a close. The people who showed up for those Wednesday nights have stayed in touch and speak fondly of what they built together.

The Next Era

The Philosophy Guild is moving into a new phase, with a focus on anarchist philosophy and the development of a theory of conversational praxis' — how we talk to each other, why it matters, and what a practice of genuine conversation looks like in a space like Noisebridge.

Wednesday Lounge Conversations (archived guidelines)

The original principles of the Wednesday Lounge:

  • Natural conversational flow
  • Choose your level of participation - lurking is welcome
  • Drop in and out as you please

Per those principles, we never stopped for an agenda, to catch people up on huge topics, or for formal (re)introductions. All three interrupt the flow — and introductions in particular put people on the spot in what was meant to be a casual environment.
