Event Series: UU Men’s Group – Zoom/Online

UU Men’s Group – Zoom/Online

November 6 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

The Men’s Group offers the opportunity to participate in a provocative and stimulating discussion. We invite you to get to know us and experience UU perspectives in a meaningful way.

Steve Randy Waldman on polling and democracy, for his blog Interfluidity:

If the true public will existed as a thing that could just be measured and correctly known, we’d have no need for democracy, at least not for anything like electoral democracy. ‘Consultative democracy,’ in which experts simply measure the true will of the public and acted correctly on its behalf, would be the obviously superior system. But the true public will does not exist. We have to construct, to constitute, one of many possible versions of it ourselves. How we constitute it will determine who we collectively are, how we will collectively understand ourselves going forward, how we act, whether we will live well or poorly or outright destroy ourselves.

Our country is in crisis now largely because of the inability of responsible politicians and opinion leaders to effectively organize, refine, and articulate the public will. What are some strategies and actions that might help get us out of this quagmire?

We meet on the first Thursday of the month on Zoom.

Contact us for more information. Your inquiry is emailed directly to our team and we will respond promptly.
