May was an interesting month in the history of Practical Philosophy… On May 30th, 2024, we started the Practical Philosophy Vancouver chapter. For the first 2.5 years we just had the three groups. Minding our business. Then we opened CDMX in early 2024 and Vancouver was the 5th group. That was a turning point. After that, within a few months we had opened up another 5 or 10. One year later and we have 5x’d that number with over 25 chapters. It seems that Practical Philosophy has become an actual movement. During this month of May, 2025, we added new chapters in Montreal, Doha Qatar, Cagliari Italy and Saltillo Mexico. As well as the revival of our San Francisco chapter. For June, we have similar growth happening. What we must keep in mind, while all this exciting growth is happening, is that although growth in numbers is good, we MUST make sure that we are optimizing for the best discussions that we can have. That we are building something beautiful is evident, yes. That it’s quite massive, also yes. But that our main focus must be on the quality. When the initial exponential growth happened, it got into our head a little bit. We lost our humility for a brief period. We’ve made adjustments and remain conscious that we must maintain that humility. It’s been a balance because you also want to maintain your frame and yeah … that’s a whole other topic. Too humble is as bad as too arrogant. But we just try to keep in mind that our indicator for impact is not so much based on bodies through the door, but how well we are facilitating discussions that involve critical thinking and communication. That’s our goal. How is it that we can build a community built on honest and transparency? That’s the question we must ask. Things will continue to change, but with our focus on open discussion and connection through community, we believe that Practical Philosophy will continue to grow and change the lives of people all around the world. It started as a hangout, it has since become a movement. We are riding that wave together, and as long as we keep our focus on quality discussions, we will continue to be a space where people can connect with other deep thinkers.

I will be doing an 18 day social media detox from May 2-20 it will challenge me to become the best of the best I will be back here after it is all done I will see y'all in the next one. If you want to ask me anything go right ahead before I am gone in a stoic way.
