What is friendship? Is it merely a congenial relationship? Or is it something deeper? Is it a useful tool or is it something of real importance to our psyche? Does it serve a valuable function in our society? Did it serve a valuable function in our evolutionary development or did it develop as result of evolutionary changes? Suggested reading:

PFC Monthly discussion groups are open to all - if the topic interests you, and you wish to engage in rational and/or evidence-based dialogue, you'll be welcome! Dress is casual. Discussion is moderated but informal - speak up as much or as little as you wish.
Discussion topics are selected by vote at the previous Group meeting. They are chosen from a slate of topics germane to current events and for the controversy or differences of opinion around the subject.
