メンバーの皆さんお久しぶりです。しばらく休会しておりましたが、不定期で開催することになりました。
コロナ期間中はZOOMを使用しオンラインで開催したことで、関西圏外の方々、海外にお住まいの方々など、通常のリアル例会では出会うことのできない様々のメンバーをお交えておしゃべりし、ディスカッションができたことを本当にありがたく思います。
今回の開催はオンラインではなく、リアル開催になってしまうため、関西エリアの方限定のご案内になってしまします。
不定期ではありますが、オンラインの開催もできればと思っていますので、引き続き宜しくお願い致します。

Hello, everyone. It's been a while, a year and a half... since the last time.

Hope all members are doing well.
I decided to restart Hoosies, but it would not be as frequent as before.
I will hold the event only when anyone of our members has a topic to do discussion and wants to be a host of the event.
The frequency of hosting the event is based on the voluntary base of our members.
So if you have a topic, and want to be host, please let me know. I will arrange the event by meetup.

This time as the first host after the pandemic, I(Susie) will be the host!
Here are the topics for next 22nd July.

For the casual conversation, I want to talk about the character/personality analysis test.

Q1 Have you tried any character/personality tests?
If you have, What type of tests? and how your character was analyzed.

Q2 Do you believe the result of these tests?

Q3 If you have any exciting character tests, please share them with us.

Next,
"Mind Control" is the topic for the second part.

The voices of the victims of the Unification Church came into the spotlight following Yamagami's assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in July last year.
The Yamagami's mother donated 100 million JPY to the church, bankrupting her family.
Since that incident, the word "mind control" has been focused on and treated as a controversial term.

Today I want to discuss this topic in a broad definition of mind control, not only focusing on the case of the Unification Church but on broad definition of "mind control".

Q1
Are there any real-world examples of the use of mind control in current events, or in our daily life?
If you have any specific cases you've seen in your life, please share them with us. (if you want)

Q2
What are some of the techniques, and how do these techs work?

Q3
Can individuals be trained to resist mind control, and if so how?
How can we detect and protect ourselves from attempts at mind control?
How can we balance the need for security with the protection of individual freedom and autonomy?

NOTE: Some of the questions were referred to Chat GPT.
