Ti è mai capitato di sentirti “in un limbo”, come se la vita fosse sospesa tra ciò che sogni e ciò che chiami “reale”? In questo piccolo cerchio al Laghetto EUR partiremo da alcune domande semplici ma radicali: e se ciò che chiami realtà fosse un sogno? Cosa accade quando ti “risvegli” dentro il sogno che prima chiamavi realtà? Cosa succede quando ti senti lontanə dal qui e ora, come se la luce, la pace o il “tuo posto nel mondo” fossero sempre da un’altra parte? Useremo queste domande come filo conduttore per parlare di identità, paura, cambiamento, libertà e appartenenza. Non servono competenze filosofiche o psicologiche: è uno spazio informale dove ognuno può condividere pensieri, esperienze personali o semplicemente ascoltare, senza obbligo di intervenire. L’obiettivo è ascoltare più in profondità ciò che sentiamo veramente e vedere come questo può aiutarci a creare una realtà più consapevole, nel quotidiano. Porta solo te stessə, qualcosa per sederti sull’erba e la disponibilità ad ascoltare e parlare con rispetto. La partecipazione è gratuita, con possibilità di lasciare un piccolo contributo libero se l’incontro ti sarà stato utile. L’incontro si svolge sia in italiano che in inglese, per lasciare spazio a chiunque voglia partecipare. È gradito lo spirito di gruppo e l’attenzione nel parlare in modo che tuttə possano comprendere e sentirsi a proprio agio. ENG: Have you ever felt in “a limbo”, as if your life were suspended between what you dream and what you call “real”? In this small circle by the EUR lake, we will start from a few simple but radical questions: what if what you call reality was a dream? What happens when you “wake up” inside the dream you used to call reality? What happens when you feel far from the here and now, as if light, peace, or your “place in the world” were always somewhere else? We will use these questions as a thread to talk about identity, fear, change, freedom and belonging. You do not need any philosophical or psychological background: this is an informal space where everyone can share personal thoughts and experiences, or simply listen, with no obligation to speak. The aim is to listen more deeply to what we truly feel and see how this can help us create a more conscious reality in everyday life. Just bring yourself, something to sit on the grass, and a willingness to listen and speak with respect. Participation is free, with the possibility to leave a small voluntary contribution if you find the meeting valuable. The gathering will take place in both Italian and English, so that anyone who wishes to join can feel welcome. We kindly ask everyone to keep a group spirit and speak in a way that helps all participants understand and feel comfortable.

This year's Eurovision Song Contest is being held in Vienna, Austria, and the finals are scheduled for 16 May 2026. The [Scandinavian Club of Columbus](https://www.scandiclub.com/) will be co-hosting a viewing party for the final event in conjunction with Germania and the [Columbus Maennerchor](https://www.maennerchor.com/). The delayed televised viewing will take place at the Germania. The program will start around 2:00 p.m. and the singing will **start around 3:00 p.m**. There will be a **cash bar**, and those in attendance can **bring food or snacks** for themselves and or to share with the groups. **Suggested donation: $10/person** to help cover the cost of the venue.

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
