We had the first PhiloCafe of 2026 yesterday in Woodbridge library. Conversations included the issues surrounding social media and young people. Should it be banned for under 16s or not?...the rise in extreme plastic surgery procedures in under 30s and what are the contributing factors? Body altering methods throughout History (eg foot and head binding) and do Plastic Surgeons have an ethical responsibility to say "no" if extreme procedures are clearly not in the patient's best interest....and Who decides "best interests" anyway?...which lead to N**i scientists...the rise of decadance when Empires fall.....plus whether or not to start a family, ageism, Mormon "Trad Wives" movement in USA and the rise in anti-children sentiments....plus what impact does a lack of individual inner connection or purely materialistic consciousness have on wider society?....of course, as usual, when the subjects get too "heavy" we remember to put on the kettle, open the biccies and LAUGH!🤣😊
