Cuttyhunk can be a very fun place to grow up in the summers! 

 This little CYC sailing school's Mako boat AMAZINGLY lasted for about 50 years (thanks to fiberglass) helping kids learn to sailing in a very fun program #GooglePhotos #Cuttyhunk (Cuttyhunk Yacht Club) >(link: https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sailing) wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sailing -

Here are some apropos definitions of philosophy: 

 philosophy

~ a theory or attitude held by a person or organization that acts as a guiding principle for behavior (Apple dictionary 2005-2017)


~ ‘love of wisdom’



~ philosophy as ideals

In philosophy, idealism is the group of metaphysical philosophies that assert that reality, or reality as humans can know it, is fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial. ... In a sociological sense, idealism emphasizes how human ideas—especially beliefs and values—shape society.

Thanks, Trevor and Non-theist Friends Network (IN Britain!), for sharing this information (which I received relating to this and related email list - 

GENERAL QUAKER INTEREST, NFN EVENTS, NON-THEISM, PUBLICATIONS:
"NONTHEIST NEWS?"


Glad to see British Northeast Friends organizing and sharing ideas! 

Friendly cheers, Scott MacLeod 

Here are two Friends/Quaker oriented wiki schools at CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School for open teaching and learning (like editing Wikipedia), and which section headings will grow into other languages with time

NtFs, Os, Victor, Trevor, and All, 

East across the Atlantic from the USA, "Nontheist Quakers" are publishing, networking and organizing - and re Britain Yearly Meeting too, I've just noticed, and "NONTHEIST FRIENDS?" - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2019/07/22/nontheist-news/ - in the first email in this thread, is one example of this, and which mentions your writings, Os. And this "NON-THEIST FRIENDS USA (NTF), SILENCE AND MEDITATION" posting - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2019/05/30/non-theist-friends-usa-ntf-silence-and-meditation/ - is another example which I've just come across. And this posting mentions too the NtF video Victor and I made together, "NtFriends' Conversation about Meditation" - 
https://youtu.be/TBGIqp8EKfg  - on March 7, 2019. 

Great - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk - and it looks like one of their earliest most recent posts is from May 7, 2019, so please have a look seemingly new set of resources. Thank you Non-theist Friends' Network (which is British Isles-centric it seems)! 

NtF / AQ cheers, Scott
