In systems, feedback structures produce patterns of behavior made up of the events we experience. Unless we understand system structure it's very difficult to determine what actions to take and which policies to adopt in order to positively affect system behavior. Instead of addressing fundamentals, we apply band-aids.  When band-aids don't work, the prevailing "common sense" is that it's obvious we should do nothing.But common sense "derived from experience" is inadequate for addressing the problems we face.

Come and enjoy good food and great conversation with other Freethinkers! Bring a dish to share, bring your spouse and/or friend, and bring water, soft drinks, a bottle of beer or wine, or whatever you’d like to drink. Coffee and tea will be provided by the host(s). The socials begin at 6:00 PM and usually break up around 9:00 PM. Remember to mark your calendar; socials are on the second Saturday of the month.

Hi Hiking Freethinkers,

There will be a hike on Sunday, March 20th at Red Rocks. There are several trails from which to choose. They are all relatively easy trails. The parking lot is south Highway 24 and Ridge Road. The hike will start promptly at 9:00 AM.

Please bring enough water and snacks for the hike.

Due to the number of people on the hike, please let me know if you plan on attending the hike. If you change your mind, please let me know that also.
