SUMMARY:Brownstone Ashland OR Supper Club\, Sept. 23\, 2026: Margaret Anna Alice & Rob Schlapfer
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILBrownstone Ashland\, Oregon Supper Club \nWednesday\, September 23rd\, 5:30pm – 9:00pm \nVenue: The Ashland Hills Hotel\, Galaxy Room\, 2525 Ashland St. Ashland OR 97520 \n$50 per person for salad\, entree\, and dessert. Beer and wine available for purchase. \nOur Guest Speakers this month: Margaret Anna Alice & Rob Schlapfer.   \nWEAPONIZED EMPATHY: HOW PATHOLOGICAL ALTRUISM FUELS BAD DECISIONS. Sometimes helping people actually hurts them. That’s called pathological altruism—you want to do good\, but you wind up making things worse. Bad actors can make goodhearted people accept harmful solutions by tapping into their empathy. This becomes evident when you examine topics such as COVID\, the climate debate\, equity\, and other hot-button issues. Understanding both how our minds work and how they are readily manipulated is how we become unherdable. \nRob Schläpfer is a social science educator who’s spent over a decade conducting classes and community conversations to bridge Oregon’s deep political divide. A former pastor\, professor\, and publisher\, he’s taught critical thinking\, civics\, and cultural studies for over four decades. He created the Oregon Education Project to promote high-quality American Education. \nMargaret Anna Alice has been a popular blogger since early Covid time writes about global politics\, health\, psychology\, language\, human rights\, civil liberties\, philosophy\, history\, and culture as she counterbalances her exposure of dark topics such as propaganda\, tyranny\, and democide with empowering solutions aimed at helping people. Margaret is best-known for her viral poem Mistakes Were NOT Made with millions of shares and hits. \nThe Brownstone Institute has been helping start supper clubs like this around the country.  Several of us here in Ashland felt inspired to take on the task to rebuild real community\, have honest conversations\, and find our people again.  We meet each month in an elegant setting to enjoy getting to know each other. There will be a time for meet & greet\, followed by dinner and a speaker.  We invite you to join us in this new adventure.  \nVenue Location: \nAshland Hills Hotel \n855-482-8310\n2525 Ashland Street\nAshland\, Oregon 97520 \nThere is plenty of available parking on-site. \nRegistration: \n$50 per person.  Space is limited so be sure to secure your seat early.  For more information contact Bill at bkindman@mind.net.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Pittsburgh Supper Club\, September 23\, 2026: Christy & Grant Martsolf
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILDeBlaze at 131 | 131 E Main St.\, Carnegie\, PA 15106 \nWednesday\, September 23\, 2026 6:30 – 9 pm  \n$53 includes appetizers and dinner \nPittsburgh Brownstone Supper Club is pleased to welcome Christy and Grant Martsolf as they present “Reimagining Women’s Health: Culture\, Structure\, and the Path Forward.” \nWomen’s healthcare in the United States is broken. It often takes five to ten years for a woman to receive a diagnosis for common chronic conditions affecting her reproductive system\, and treatment often focuses on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying condition. The causes of these failures are legion\, ranging from insufficient theories of health to reimbursement systems that incentivize profit and efficiency over integral health. In this talk\, Christy and Grant Martsolf will explore these challenges and how women’s health can be improved by providers motivated by a proper vision of health and care\, equipped with the right tools and incentives.  \nChristy Martsolf is FEMM-trained board-certified Adult Nurse Practitioner. Grant Martsolf is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh and a fellow of the Institute for Family Studies. Together they co-own the Headwaters Clinic—a family-run integrative primary care clinic specializing in hormone dysregulation and women’s health.
