Don't think I can do this Sunday. Got my fantasy draft. I don't want to spend too much time doing leisure stuff on the internet because I got other stuff to do that day.
I prefer every two weeks to every week anyway personally. Yall wanna plan for Sunday Sept. 2nd? Sly already said he's gonna finally show up. Who else? I can host the skype call. Someone wanna record it?

I always check them out between classes while on campus.
As for topics, I only have philosophical topics that I think are interesting and different from the usual. I know that's not the cup of tea for this forum, so I don't want to waste anyone's time discussing it.

Nah, let's hear them. We'll incorporate them if you show up for it.

I was thinking about discussing, not debating, the age old argument of "dualism" vs "materialism" in terms of consciousness. It's one of the few things I go back and forth on constantly.
For those who don't know and wish to study or think on it, I'll summarize:
Materialism basically means that consciousness and we as sentient being are a purely physical thing, that all of it is driven by chemical and electrical processes in the brain, and that consciousness is merely a byproduct of it.
Dualism basically states that we have a physical and metaphysical component. While we are physical beings, and our brains are driven by those aforementioned chemical/electrical processes, it merely allows us to "tap into" or understand a higher plan of existence that we refer to as consciousness.

You should talk about gun control. Sly will be on, too, so there will be a good diversity of viewpoints.
