🚶 Philosophy Walk: Why do humans search for meaning in life?

Let's try something a little different!

In August, I thought it would be nice to take advantage of the warmer weather (hopefully!) and combine a philosophical discussion with a relaxing walk. Hamburg's weather is famously unpredictable, which is why I don't organize this type of event very often—but let's make the most of the sunshine while we can.
This won't be a structured debate with prepared questions. And this format is experimental, so success is no guarantee! We'll have one broad topic to inspire conversation:

Why do humans search for meaning in life?

Whether you approach it from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, religion, or your own personal experiences, feel free to take the discussion in any direction. The goal is simply to enjoy an open conversation while walking together.

### Meeting Point

📍 Nur Hier – Esplanade
Colonnaden 51, 20354 Hamburg (in front of the cafe, not inside).

We'll meet at 2:45 PM and wait until 3:00 PM (maximum 3:05 PM) before heading together to Planten un Blomen near Dammtor.
If you're running late or can no longer attend, please send me a private message through the Meetup chat so we know whether to wait for you.
This is meant to be a relaxed, stress-free afternoon, so don't worry about having the "right" answers—just bring your curiosity and enjoy the walk!

### Plan B ☔

If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll simply stay at Nur Hier and have our discussion there instead, just like our usual Meetup events.
Either way, the conversation goes on!
