Why do we stop reinventing ourselves?

At sixteen you could become a goth, a punk, a jock or a nerd over one summer. Each came with its own music, its own heroes and its own idea of what matters. Then, somewhere in our twenties, most of us stop and call the result “who I am.” Was all that trying on shallow play, or the most serious thing we ever did? Did we stop because we found ourselves, or because changing became too costly? And what would it take to start again at thirty or at sixty? You may already have answers to these. So do others, and theirs are different. Portland Philosophy Table is an open weekly round table where people from different walks of life take one such question and compare how they see it. There is no lecture and no reading list. The people at the table are the text. The bet is that someone there is already living by an idea you have never come across, and that you may leave with one worth trying out yourself. Tuesday, November 17, 6 to 7:30 PM. Planned location: Taborspace, 5441 SE Belmont Street, Portland. The room is still being confirmed, so please RSVP here to hear about any change. Free and open to everyone. Come once and see.
