The Moral Animal

We're a small group that's been meeting Saturday mornings since August 2025. Past readings are below.

Right now we're reading standalone essays/papers while we welcome new members. First up on April 18 is Richard Feynman's Cargo Cult Science — good way to find out if our discussions are for you. Meetings start with a casual question/ice-breaker, some social time, then we get into the reading. We take the material seriously but nobody gets talked over. We vote on what we read next, and anyone can veto something they're not up for.

It's free, no membership. You can come once and decide it's not for you.

Also, I'm Charles! — I run the group, and if you email me or fill out the form below, you're reaching me directly and I'll write back within a day or two. Hope to hear from you.

Saturdays at 9 a.m. — here's how to find us.
