TEDxSydney founder plans ambitious Sydney cafe and members club
The organiser of TEDxSydney is planning to open a membership based city cafe, live events space and rooftop bar in Darlinghurst, Mumbrella can reveal.
General Thinking cafe
The General Thinking city cafe is the brainchild of Remo Giuffre, one of the driving forces behind TEDxSydney.
According to documents seen by Mumbrella, Giuffre has identified a four storey building in Darlinghurst which will become a meeting space, event venue, rooftop bar and seven days a week live video streaming hub.
What is this?
A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read… if they can’t even fit inside the building?
^ this 🙂
As long as the kids learn to read and speak heaps good too…
Seriously though, isn’t the name ‘General Thinking cafe’ setting the bar a bit low for something connected to TED?
Unless General is a rank in this context (and that’s an issue too, involving the military!) then I hope would hope we could do better than the ‘general’ thinking that leads to a government with no respect for human rights, an increasing gap between the 1 and the 99 percenters, and ‘generally’ leading us down the path of lowest common denominator. Let’s start with some inspiration, not just some bland and ‘general’ thinking with regards to a name (see what I did there?). The challenge has been made o inspired thinkers. Great concept though – let’s just give it a better name. 🙂
And turn left
….everyone needs to be able to turn left!
This concept is very similar to what is already happening at Hub Sydney.
Come to an Open House and join Australia’s only National Coworking and Collaborative Community with weekly Learning and Social Events. All with access to Playground, Meeting Rooms, Lounge, Cafe/kitchen, Library, Art Gallery and Events Spaces, Memberships start at $20 a month.

TEDx – it’s all there!
The Smug Room, the Knowing Hipster Room, the Champagne Socialist Do-As-I-Say-Don’t-Live-As-I-Live Room. This place has everything! Even a rainbow Circle of the Virtuous.
But how they’ll get all those bicycles upstairs, I don’t know.
