This group was made to find and connect people with a similar view on life. The view being that life is pointless, but it's ok that it's pointless.

The meaning of life has no effect on what makes you happy and what doesn't .. It's just a "being realistic" kind of view, since there is no good reason for a person to believe otherwise. …

Well, the fact that I am starting this PhD student meet-up group should tell you that I’m procrastinating despite a fast encroaching deadline, and a deluge of emails from my supervisors harassing me about that long overdue chapter. This meet-up is really aimed at nomadic PhD students like myself who do not have a network here.  For example, I am completing my degree in arty-phartysness (Art History and Musicology) through the University of Edinburgh but after two years abroad and living like a h …
