Virtual Drinking Skeptically is a video chat based discussion group that meets at least twice a month. If you're skeptic-friendly and enjoy interesting discussion, geekery, and other silliness, then join us on our next event!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Brian Gregory is an over 40 year old software hack who has recently discovered that most of his assumptions about life are wrong; including beliefs, expectations, roles, etc. This transformation, fueled by the Internet, Social Media, Podcasts, and traditional media, has sparked his passion for science, reason, and the naturalistic worldview.
The motivation for “Virtual Drinking Skeptically”:
Drinking Skeptically is “an informal social event designed to promote fellowship and networking among skeptics, critical-thinkers, and like-minded individuals”. These “real life” groups meet around the country to provide an opportunity for skeptics and skeptic-friendly people to talk, share ideas (and yes, drink) in a casual, relaxed atmosphere.
“Virtual Drinking Skeptically” is an attempt to extend this social experience online, not to replace or interfere with any of the “real life” DS meetings, local skeptic groups, or conferences. But to augment them by promoting science and critical thinking, encouraging the formation and provide resources to support “real” DS groups, and by providing a virtual DS experience for those that so desire it. In addition, VDS can provide a way for skeptics to reach out socially into other areas of the country, or the world.
