Strange questions for memorable conversations.
Thought experiments you can use at dinner, with friends, at events, or anywhere small talk has gone on too long.
Good dinner conversations need three things: uncertainty, personal stakes, and enough structure to let people say something real.
Thought experiments give all three without forcing anyone into performative debate. They're questions you can argue about, confess to, or quietly carry home.

We love a classic thought experiment, but the ones we send have been battle-tested at our live events. Approachable enough for anyone at the table to jump in, interesting enough that no one wants to stop.
The live version happens in Austin.
Thought Experiments on Patios brings these questions outside, puts strangers at tables, and lets the conversation actually happen.
