Bilateral Discussion: Reputation and Public Opinion on the Balance – Should I Not Care About Them?

In our societies, reputation and what others say are among the most important drivers of behavior for the vast majority of individuals, and among the primary deterrents preventing them from engaging in many actions—even if they are personally convinced of their validity. Here, individuals tend to consider 'others' to a degree that may exceed their consideration of themselves, ranging from daily behaviors to life-changing decisions. Many of us do not necessarily view this as negative, given that humans are inherently "social beings," and thus have little control over being indifferent to others' opinions about them. We will discuss this matter from entirely different dimensions, attempting to delve deeply into the concept to broaden our understanding and freely express our thoughts in a space free from stigma and labeling. Discussion Format: Each person will discuss the topic with another individual for 9–10 minutes to hear more transparent and honest perspectives, then switch to another person until six rounds are completed. Afterwards, we will form small groups (3–4 people) to continue discussions on the same topic. ⏳ Time: Sunday, September 14, from 8:15 PM to 10:45 PM. We will remain available afterwards for informal conversation. 📍 Location: Coffee Planet 💰 Fee: Only 30 SAR Transfer via STC PAY to this number: 0556349749 ⚖️ Meeting Rules: ✔️ Discussion is open to all viewpoints, with mutual respect for differing opinions ✔️ Our discussion will focus on philosophy and life, avoiding religious and political issues ✔️ Please arrive on time
