Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

***SCREENING OUTDOOR WITH A FRESH LIMONADA!* 🍋** **ESP** *Creemos firmemente que para ser eficientes y saludables en el manejo de la actual crisis ambiental y social, necesitamos equiparnos con herramientas y conocimientos que nos ayuden a empoderarnos y cultivar nuestra "esperanza activa". La serie Culture Jam de* ***[Apocapoc BCN](https://www.apocapocbcn.com/)*** *tiene como objetivo hacer precisamente eso.* Únete a nosotros en una inspiradora noche de cine y solidaridad global, con la proyección de dos poderosos documentales dirigidos por la activista y cineasta ***[Iara Lee](https://www.instagram.com/iaralee.explores.brazil)***, fundadora de ***[Cultures of Resistance Network](https://culturesofresistance.org/)***. Nuestra primera proyección, ***The Sami Song of Survival* (Salmo Sami de Sobrevivência)**, explora cómo el pueblo indígena Sámi del norte de Europa utiliza la organización creativa, el arte y la resiliencia cultural para resistir a siglos de racismo institucionalizado, marginación y colonialismo en la frontera ártica. A continuación, viajaremos a África Occidental con ***Unite for Bissau* (Unidas por Bissau / Nô Kumpu Guiné)**. Esta película, que invita a la reflexión, sigue a valientes mujeres locales que continúan el legado liberador de Amílcar Cabral. Al construir instituciones arraigadas en la agroecología, desafían al patriarcado, reclaman la soberanía alimentaria y rechazan sin miedo normas sociales opresivas como la mutilación genital femenina y el matrimonio forzado. A través de su trabajo en ***Caipirinha Productions*** y su extensa trayectoria como activista viajando por el Sur Global, Iara Lee utiliza el cine para explorar cómo la acción creativa contribuye a la resolución de conflictos y a los derechos humanos en todo el mundo. No te pierdas esta oportunidad de ser testigo de estas vitales historias de resistencia, conectar con miembros de la comunidad que comparten tus mismos ideales e intercambiar ideas durante nuestra sesión de debate posterior a las proyecciones. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **ENG** *We strongly believe that to be efficient and healthy at dealing with the current environmental and social crisis, we need to equip ourselves with tools and knowledge that help us to be empowered and to cultivate our "active hope".

Our first screening, ***The Sami Song of Survival* (Salmo Sami de Sobrevivência)**, explores the indigenous Sámi people of Northern Europe as they use creative organizing, art, and cultural resilience to resist centuries of institutionalized racism, marginalization, and colonialism on the Arctic frontier. Following this, we will travel to West Africa with ***Unite for Bissau* (Unidas por Bissau / Nô Kumpu Guiné)**. This thought-provoking film follows brave local women carrying forward the liberating legacy of Amílcar Cabral. By building institutions rooted in agroecology, they challenge patriarchy, claim food sovereignty, and fearlessly reject oppressive social norms like female genital mutilation and forced marriage. Through her work at ***Caipirinha Productions*** and her extensive history as an activist traveling across the Global South, Iara Lee uses cinema to explore how creative action contributes to conflict resolution and human rights worldwide. Do not miss this opportunity to witness these vital stories of resistance, connect with like-minded community members, and share your thoughts during our post-screening feedback session. **Event Schedule (Approximately):** * 18:30 - 18:45 - Welcome & Introduction / Bienvenida e Introducción * 18:45 - 19:35 - [SALMO SAMI DE SOBREVIVÊNCIA: Ativismo Indígena na Fronteira Ártica](https://culturesofresistancefilms.com/the-sami-song-of-survival/) / (**Multi-Language w/ English Subs -** **50min**) * 19:35 - 19:45 - BREAK * 19:45 - 20:25 - [UNIDAS POR BISSAU (Nô Kumpu Guiné): Agroecología y feminismo en Guinea-Bissau](https://culturesofresistancefilms.com/unite-for-bissau/) (**Portuguese w/ English Subs -** **40min**) * 20:25 - 20:55 - Screening Exchange / Feedback

La Sandra i el Mateo estan casats “sobre el paper”: ella és de Barcelona i ell, xilè. El seu matrimoni neix d’un pacte d’amistat per protegir-se d’un sistema que els aboca a la precarietat i a les lleis injustes. Van fer aquest pacte d’honor. I ho van fer per amor. Però sostenir aquesta ficció acaba posant en risc allò més fràgil: el seu vincle. Quan, després d’un temps distanciats, la Sandra li demana un favor èticament qüestionable, tots dos es veuen obligats a encarar preguntes incòmodes sobre el deute, la responsabilitat i el sentit de la seva relació.

Seminario libre y gratis sobre el libro del filosofo italiano Emanuele Profumi, "Servitù democratica: come fermare la spirale autoritaria"(2025). Por Primera vez en Barcelona, vendrán explicadas las tesis principale del libro, y debatidas publicamente. El profesor de Filosofia Lluís Pla Vargas, de la Ub, criticará el texto y luego se abrirá a debate público. Un verdadero seminario de investigación, abierto a toda la ciudadanía.

A relaxed, beginner-friendly run/walk social focused on movement, community and feeling better. This is not a serious running club for elite athletes, nor is it a hardcore bootcamp. The idea is simple: get outside, move your body, meet good people and build healthier habits in a supportive environment. We’ll cover around 4k together using a structured run/walk format guided by qualified personal trainer Mike Maddox, with regular walk breaks so nobody feels left behind or under pressure. This group is designed for adults who are comfortable walking for around an hour and want to improve their fitness in a relaxed, social way. **Perfect for:** • People getting back into fitness • Busy professionals and parents • Expats looking to meet people • Anyone wanting a healthier routine without intimidation • People who don’t feel comfortable in traditional fitness spaces English-speaking, but everyone is welcome 🇬🇧🇪🇸 No pressure. No judgement. Just movement, fresh air and good people. **Session location:** Poble Nou **Meeting point:** End of Rambla Poble Nou, as you enter the park on your way to the beach **Rules / Schedule:** We stay together as a group. We begin with a warm-up walk before moving into light jogging intervals with regular walking breaks, depending on the level of the group. There is no set pace and no competition. We move, walk, jog and chat together. After the session, we’ll cool down, stretch, and maybe grab a coffee nearby for anyone who wants to stay and socialise. A short health questionnaire must be completed before attending.

**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.** Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè! Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu. Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol. **ON ENS TROBEM?** Café de l'Opera (NOMES 3 ABRIL!) **QUAN ENS TROBEM** Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45 Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment **QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM** Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana **QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS** A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic:[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_metho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)d. Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi **QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS** Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors \- Per quins ideals val la pena morir \- Per què mai estem satisfets \- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual \- És necessària la identitat \- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia \- Què és la postveritat \- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\- Què és l'amistat **QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP** Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!

**Not everyone will come. That is exactly why you should.** **Two for Tuesdays** is for the people who actually want to get out and do something instead of just talking about it. We’re kicking off the night with a one-hour social walk before Duckpin Social. **Expect a laid-back** But an Intentional 1 hour walk (2-3 miles), good people, and a better way to spend your Tuesday than staying home and doing the same thing you always do. **If the weather does not cooperate, we’ll move indoors.** A small contribution helps keeps events sustainable and ensures those **who RSVP actually show up.** Payment **Link Found in comments**. Walk RSVP **$2** Walk / DuckPin Social **$5** Walk / DuckPin Social + 1 game of duckpin **$12** Please be sure **to Put Event and Event Date** in the note when paying RSVP Fee
