BEYOND MONEY : Part II : Work, Incentive, Satisfaction & Re-Education of Values
! I LEARNED MY LESSON ! Our first instalment Part I, was far too long and tiring so in this instalment we'll reduce from the 2.5 hours to under 1-Hour Presentation with more energy left for open discussion & questions. We will recap quickly on the previous presentation then move on this time to Education, Work & Satisfaction and how might work and progress be incentivised without the existence of transactional currency!
We are presenting a wildly ambitious Presentation & Discussion Series over 6 instalments in the coming Months and would love to have you join us on this Fascinating Optimistic Journey through our current world order. What is it’s impact on us and is there a solution that could very well redirect our world to more desirable outcomes?

Part II : Why should we Work?
February 11th, 2026
We will recap briefly on the previous presentation then move on this time to Education, Work & Satisfaction and how might work and progress be incentivised without the existence of transactional currency! Why Work? How Much Work is Needed? How should work be valued and incentivised?
Your Host Darren will present 18 years of his thought into this subject and share in simple terms, some very obvious observations about the long-evolved flaws in our social orders and no-brainer solutions you might never have thought of! But first you might need to be ready to suspend some of your long-held beliefs in what it means to be human, what is means to be a civilisation and what it is you truly want from this life.
This is no pie-in-the-sky what-if presentation but a considered thought-provoking technical analysis of all the issues we all can see in the world around us with some solutions proposed that might very well start a call to action to start working on building a better world.
…But Before all that:
- Part I (Introduction) : The Human Animal & Money
January 21st, 2026 - Part II : Why Should We Work?
February 11th, 2026 - Part III : Do We Need To Own Things?
February 25th, 2026 - Part IV : Do We Need A Government?
March 11th, 2026 - Part V : Should We Follow The Law?
March 25th, 2026 - Part VI : Is There A Better System For Our Societies?
April 15th, 2026
Join us for this presentation series of long-considered ideas that might very well inspire or frighten you for their bold yet optimistic possibilities. Ask questions, share your thoughts, challenge the assertions in and friendly and open space as you’ve always trusted LOOK.Sharp Cafe to be!

Sneaky Drinks: Meet new people in Porto before the party!
Look.Sharp Retail Cafe, R. de Cimo de Vila 41, Porto, PT### Sneaky Drinks – Meet new people 🍹 | Porto Meetup
One of our very first event concepts, dating back to our opening in 2020, Sneaky Drinks is an International Afterwork Social Meet. We used to say, “your quick afterwork drink event, where your intension was to go for just one before heading home, but then not reaching home until breakfast the next day”… But things have changed. It’s a smaller intimate event at our large community table, alcoholic beverages optional, however consumption super appreciated. A great place to mix with an eclectic bunch of people as you learn about others backgrounds and experiences… and who know, perhaps you do only get home for breakfast!
