760The Kibbitznest Liberal Arts Discussion Series is a collaboration primarily with the University of Chicago Graham School where we invite faculty and instructors to present and discuss their original research. In keeping with the mission to preserve quality human interaction, we encourage the audience to ask questions throughout the time or as prompted by the speaker. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The discussions typically start at 6pm (occasionally they may start at 6:30pm to accommodate teaching schedules) and end at approximately 7:15 or 7:30pm at which point feel free to leave.  You can also go ahead and gather with others at a table if you would like to discuss the topic further. The series starts in October and ends in May. They are typically held on Thursdays twice a month with some exceptions due to holidays or other circumstances. Attendance can be anywhere from 15 - 60 people; although on average there are about 35-45 people. If you’d like more information specifically about the faculty, instructors, and the University liberal arts programs please visit <a href="https://graham.uchicago.edu">The University of Chicago Graham School</a> . We have also partnered with the organizations; Shimer Great Books School, the Chicago Sun-Times, Cure Violence, Guitars over Guns, the University of Missouri and more. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Some of our topics have been:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Rousseau &amp; Education</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Carnegie &amp; the Gospel of Wealth</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Shakespeare on Respect due to Fathers</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Aristotle on Happiness</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Nietzsche &amp; Buddhism</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Ulysses: A Human Work for Humans </p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Is Socialism Possible in the Age of Trump?</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Western Culture versus Ancient Greek Freedom &amp; Equality</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Getting Comfortable with Death</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Morality and Self-Concealment</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Two Extremely Short Stories by Franz Kafka</p></li></ul><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Admission is always free, although we encourage support of the venue that so graciously donates the use of their space, kibbitznest books, brews &amp; blarney and their great staff, with the purchase of food or beverages.

872  <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Kibbitznest, Inc was founded on March 5th, 2015 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit private operating foundation based on this vision &amp; mission to achieve the goals and objectives as outlined below. Kibbitznest books, brews &amp; blarney, the book-bar, opened on October 6th, 2016 as a place to practice the theory that the balancing of face to face &amp; digital communication can be practiced on a daily basis.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The world has been evolving into a highly technological society which has allowed us to stay in touch with hundreds or even thousands of friends through digital electronic communication platforms—social media, email, video chat, texting, websites, forums, blogs, video games—which now dominate a significant portion of our days. These forms of communication are excellent tools for sharing ideas and connecting with people all over the world.&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">But with more and more time devoted to digital electronic communication, what is society giving up, what is the trade-off?&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">It’s time to step back in time and take notice of what the potential negative impact will be on our society if we choose face-to-face social interaction less and less in favor of digital communication networks. Society will be paying a hefty price as more and more young people depend on technology to communicate. Our verbal skills and emotional intelligence will suffer (Sigman (2009). Studies at Yale University show that the overuse of digital technology can change the brain by rewriting a child’s brain pathways altering how they would normally develop (Brackett, 2014). Studies show this relatively new human behavior has the potential to foster alienation and isolation, as they prefer not to engage in social activities away from their computers or smartphones. But, the reality is, digital electronic communication is here to stay and that can be a good thing, as long as it is balanced with face-to-face communication.</p>

928  <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Our ultimate objective is to promote a better understanding of the world and its people by coming together face-to-face to experience being human by teaching, by learning, by listening,&nbsp;by reading, by arguing, by discussing, and by inquiring. We encourage a balance between face to face and digital electronic communication. We encourage reading books, especially in the liberal arts genre, and also attending discussions centered on the liberal arts in order to practice critical thinking and inquisition.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Kibbitznest strives to encourage the public to work toward achieving a balance between online and face-to-face communication. It has become apparent that achieving this balance should be everyone’s responsibility, if we are to remain a civilized society. Kibbitznest will attempt to do its part by providing an avenue where the public can actively preserve the quality of human interaction. The founders have identified liberal arts thinking and education through books and open discussion as the catalytic tool to use in achieving this goal because of its inherent quality to encourage curiosity, inquiry, and discussion regarding the wonders of human nature, other animal nature, and the physical and scientific world around us.&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">During its activities, kibbitznest becomes a community classroom where people can share ideas and philosophies and engage in problem solving face to face. Reading books along with face to face discussion will broaden the learning potential and further promote curiosity about the history of the world and its relationship to the future.  The predominant theme of our events will be an appreciation of the liberal arts as we collaborate with colleges, universities, museums, cultural centers, other non-profits, and other organizations, to bring worthwhile programming to the community. We collect used books primarily in the liberal arts genre as a compliment to the face to face discussions.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We offer a home to a mix of intellectual events—For example, together with the distinguished professors and instructors from the University of Chicago Graham School and other universities &amp; colleges, we bring you regularly scheduled discussions in the liberal arts that encourage an appreciation of the foundation for all professions and life callings —creativity, reasoning, &amp;
928 critical thinking. Other activities will center on discussions centered on presentations of topics of significant social issues. Other proposals can be submitted through our “proposals” page. </p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p>
