Our society was born with a simple purpose: to infuse greater meaning into human interactions and conversations. This debate society evolved from what began in 2008 as a simple dining club—a gathering where I sought to challenge my culinary skills and enjoy gastronomic experiences with my friends. In 2023, driven by a desire to deepen our discourse, we began planning our conversations in advance. Thus, we commenced directing discussions, which naturally gravitated towards meaningful topics, frequently leading to thought-provoking debates and intellectually stimulating exchanges.
The concept evolved swiftly into structured and moderated debates. Over time, we experimented with various formats—different seating arrangements, group sizes, and the balance between think-tank discussions and formal debates. Today, we host Oxford Union-style debates paired with formal dinners, conducted under the Chatham House Rule. This confidentiality framework protects individual views and opinions while allowing us to share collective conclusions.
However, our purpose remains unchanged: to gather once a month with an open mind, a willingness to listen, and a determination to build upon the ideas of our peers—ultimately striving to surpass our individual intellects through collective deliberation.
Our patron, Sir Francis Bacon, Viscount St Alban, was a British philosopher, lawyer, politician, and concealed poet. Renowned as one of the last and greatest Renaissance men, Bacon is credited with the development of empiricism and the scientific method—principles that resonate deeply with the logical deliberations of our society.
