There are two weekly CoV chats, one on Tuesdays at 2100h CST and the other on Fridays at 2300h GMT.
Everyone is welcome to join the chat.

Apathy and Passion: How can we control our own motivation? How can we deal with lack of motivation?
Fairness: What is fair? What is justice?
Elitism: Is it better to appeal to the masses or the elite?

Virus Book Club: Let's pick a book to discuss.
Faith: Remember the old faith/phaith/dogma wars? Time for an update.
Saints: Who should be the 2nd Virian Saint?
Human Rights: what are rights? where do they come from? are they really inalienable?
The transparent society: will it be a good thing or bad thing if everyone is potentially under surveillance all the time? Is it inevitable?

Empathy: what role does it play especially when it can be used as a weapon...
