For the second LW Meetup I'll be hosting, we'll explore concepts relating to systemic and local knowledge, narcissism, frustration, the intersection of culture and politics, and mass movement, as brought about from sam[ ]zdat's Uruk Series.

It's a quite interesting sequence which took me a while to read and which I am awfully confused about. After giving a short presentation about what I've gotten out of it, I'll be handing out excerpts which we can unpack together.

Format: We meet and start hanging out at 6:00pm. At around 6:45pm, we'll do a (very) short recap what these events are about, and decide how the evening will unfold. Then the presentation followed by a semi-formal discussion.

Why come? To get to discuss with like-minded people in a fun, low-key social space with some structured interaction, where new and non-new community members can mingle and have interesting conversations. Everyone is welcome.

I'll arrive late, is it fine? Yes.

Anything else I need to know? Yes. L'Infini is a sober space, so no drugs/alcohol consumption inside.

Can I invite friends? If you think they'll get along with the rest of the folkx, yes.

See you soon!
