About SoCF

The intention of this society is to arouse intellect and develop a network of ‘clever friends’ – with benefits. By benefits I don’t mean sexual (that’s a completely different society I am also planning), I am referring to intellectual benefits. By sharing opinion and strengthening intellect among a group of friends from a diversity of fields and backgrounds we will in fact have created our own human library. As they say “Its not what you know, its who you know”. That is only half true, its good to know some stuff yourself too! SOCF will improve what you know as well as who you know. Hence, I challenge you to participate in this ‘experiment’ and include as many other potential ‘clever friends as possible’.

 

So how it works….

• You are invited to SOCF
• You are added to a schedule
• If you invite a new friend please introduce him/her to SOCF via email – to add person to schedule.
• According to schedule you will be required to forward an interesting article/question/photo – anything controversial or debatable
• If it is not your turn to forward a document you will receive a document to read
• Documents to be forwarded by 18h00 on each Monday
• If you are not able to forward a doc, please inform the next person on the schedule and the SOCF chairperson by 08h00 on the Monday – You are given 3 chances to submit a doc after which you will be excluded from SOCF!
• You can submit a doc related to your field, news, anything really
• Between Tuesday and Friday each member should forward opinion and arguments against other opinions. Additional docs to support your opinion can be added too.
• The person who submitted the doc will close discussion by Friday afternoon.
• Please keep SOCF members up to date with your achievements or anything you have published or presented elsewhere, media interviews etc.
• Please forward any ideas, issues, etc to SOCF too.
• If you opt out of SOCF inform the chairperson and you will no longer receive SOCF correspondence.
