+Hello HOMers, 
+
+I hope your week is going well, such that you feel optimistic enough to talk about - oh well - DEATH. Particularly, death and its influence on life and existence. 
+
+We realize that the topic of death might be a bit gruesome. But here shines another opportunity to discuss the different perceptions of death - with fears, uncertainty, acceptance, and the rest that surround it. 
+
+**Our meeting is tomorrow** on 9/15 at 8 pm Alumni 200, as usual.
+
+In a non-dark-humorous manner, let's make it fun.

+P.S. Nishan said that there's a comedy show in 1868 tomorrow if we choose to have something light-hearted afterwards

+Greetings HOMers,
+
+This Wednesday we will be talking about Animals and Ethics. Bring your juicy stance on veganism, vegetarianism, factory farming, your thoughts on whether humans have any responsibility towards animals, and your opinions about keeping pets. Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday. The meeting, as always, will be held in Room 200 of Alumni Hall.

+
+PS: There will be a drag night at 1868 uptown right after the meeting.

+Hello HOMers,
+
+Hope you had a wonderful Tuesday. If not, I am sure your Wednesday is going to be a lot better because we have another HOM meeting this Wednesday. This week's topic will be on Abortion rights. Need I say more? Prepare your minds for a heavy intellectual discussion. As always we will be meeting in Room 200 of Alumni hall from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm. I will see you all there.

+Hello Homers,
+
+I hope midterms are not treating you too harshly. Even if they are, yall have three days of fall break to get midterms completely off of your minds (or double down on your studies). But let's not get ourselves too far into the week, we still have a meeting this Wednesday. This week's topic is going to be Modern day Feminism and Men's Rights movement. It may be a contentious topic but I think all of us can appreciate the nuance present here. As always we will be meeting in Room 200 of Alumni Hall at 8:00 pm.

+Hello Peops, 
+
+I hope all of you had a great break. HOMers meeting is happening tomorrow at 8 pm in Alumni 200, as usual. The topic for tomorrow is none other than Objectivity of Reality & Simulation Theory (blame your president for such abstract choice). In short, what is _real_ and what is not. 
+
+It's getting chilly, so wear your quirkiest sweaters and cardigans. Or if you choose not to, appearance is part of the simulation anyways.

+Hello HOMers, 
+
+Our weekly meeting will be held, as usual, in Alumni 200 at 8:00 pm 10/20.
+
+The topic is Evolutionary epistemology. I realize it is perhaps not the sexiest topic that we had thus far. However, we've been noticing that an abundant number of arguments in our discussions directly or indirectly concern the Theory of Evolution. For a quick definition, see the following:
+
+ "Evolutionary epistemology is the attempt to address questions in the theory of knowledge from an evolutionary point of view" (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). 
+
+There are several questions to dig out from the topic, one of them - *Is struggle a necessary condition to human life?*
+
+And from there we can potentially discuss questions in epistemology in general, such as: *What distinguishes knowledge from mere belief? What can be known with certainty? How can we know if we have knowledge?*
+
+From Plato to squeaky floors in Alumni Hall
+
+See you tomorrow, 
+

+Hello People, 
+
+Here's the \*late\* reminder that our meeting is today at 8 pm in Alumni 200. 
+
+On this Halloween Eve, we wanted to talk about something truly scary about our existence. But instead, let's have a little fun and talk about *evil. Are there really really bad things we're capable of?* And is it *evil?* Or should we abandon the concept altogether?
+...
+Can someone really be *bad?* And what is *wrong?*
+
+The topic naturally leads to questions about 'good'. And although *good* and *evil* have a strong presence in Abrahamic religions, we can discuss their place outside of religion. 
+
+
+Stay warm and see you tonight, 
+

+Hello Peops, 
+
+It's Tuesday, which means it's HOM time soon. For tomorrow's meeting, I thought we could talk about Climate Change. For its redundancy in political discussions, the climate might not be everyone's favorite "philosophical" topic (or philosophical topic at all, for that matter). But the topic of climate change certainly concerns little things like justice and equality, which are big discussions on their own. An article from the President of Uganda that came out on Wall Street Journal recently sets a good base to talk on climate justice. To put it grossly, should developing nations pay the western world by sacrificing their industrial boom for the sake of clean energy? On the other hand, there will be no *boom* to have without action on climate...

+Hello Homers,
+
+This will be the last meeting before our Thanksgiving break. Let's make it a special one since we won't be seeing each other for a while. This wednesday night we will be talking about the **Symbiotic relationship between Art and Philosophy**. Some points that we may touch on are: how, over the ages, philosophy has informed artists' conception of art or even the definition of art, how art has helped popularize philosophical movements in the past (or vice versa), or why art was praised as a superior vocation by prominent existential philosophers. Feel free to read up on the topic before coming to the meeting. That always makes the discussions livelier. I hope to see all of you there. Until then, take care.
+
+Where: Alumni Hall
+When: Wednesday 8:00pm **sharp**

+Best,

+Hey y'all,
+
+I hope you had a great Thanksgiving break with your friends and family. This wednesday HOM will have its final meeting for the semester. We have no agenda or topic to discuss tomorrow but feel free to bring anything you want to talk about. It is going to be a chill meeting as we wind down for the semester. 
+
+I thank you all for your contributions to the discussions throughout the semester. The club has had its highs and lows and I thank each and every one of you who attended the meetings for being a part of it. Have a great week and good luck for your finals.

+Best,

+Hey y'all
+
+Welcome back. I hope everyone had a revitalizing break and is excited for the semester. This semester, we are tweaking the meeting times slightly. Last semester, many of us had an overload of meetings and commitments on Wednesday evenings. So, this semester, we are going to be meeting on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays. The meeting time will still be the same: 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm. 
+
+We will have our first meeting this Thursday on the 27th. The first meeting will be dedicated to catching up and general discussions about the club. Feel free to bring topics you want to discuss on the day or later in the semester. We will try our best to incorporate them in our subsequent meetings. Any event ideas will also be appreciated.
+
+Yours Truly,
+Nishan Amgain

+Meetings will be on Thursdays 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Alumni 200.
