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

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 personally believe in them. Individuals among us consider 'others' to such an extent that it may surpass 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 therefore 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 idea, broadening our perspectives and expressing our thoughts in a space free from stigma and classifications. Discussion Format: Each person will discuss the topic with another individual for 9–10 minutes to hear more transparent and honest ideas, then switch to another person until six rounds are completed. Afterwards, we will move into groups of (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 afterward for further conversation. 📍 Location: Coffee Planet 💰 Fee: Only 30 SAR Transfer to this number via STC PAY 0556349749 ⚖️ Meeting Rules: ✔️ Discussion is open to all opinions, with respect for differing viewpoints ✔️ Our discussion will focus on philosophy and life, avoiding religious and political issues ✔️ Please arrive on time
