Scenario

When long-term discussion groups lose their shared purpose

My friend group has been meeting for fifteen years to discuss books and ideas, but lately half of us just want to vent about politics and the other half want to escape into philosophy, and we're all too polite to say that these evenings aren't working anymore. We keep showing up but nobody's really present.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A community built around intellectual exploration is fragmenting as members develop incompatible needs for how they want to engage with ideas together.
