Is there no alternative to capitalism?
Is there no alternative to capitalism?
**Please note that we invite people through different channels, so there are more attendees than you can see here :)** What do we think about capitalism in 2026? Do we see it as the only system that has ever worked — or as the root cause of all our problems? And let’s dare to think beyond the current system: What might a good and realistic system look like in the future? Would it be capitalism with some adjustments or a totally different system? In this discussion, we’ll quickly look at some of the most prominent perspectives on capitalism — and then discuss what realistic and desirable alternatives might look like. This event is part of the series The Discussion Experiment in which we try out new methods for more focused and meaningful discussions. This time we’re guests at the Schöneberg Central Library. Find out more in the FAQ below and join us! **This is a free event.** +++++++++ **FAQ** ***What can I expect from this event?*** Each event is an experiment, so it’s hard to predict exactly how it will unfold or feel. We aim to create a relaxed and thought-provoking atmosphere in which we explore various aspects and perspectives of the topic together. At the start of the discussion, we’ll introduce some special rules designed to make the conversation slower, but also more focused and clear. ***Who is this event for?*** This event is for anyone who is interested in the topic and/or the concept. We want to create a space where people of all ages, identities and backgrounds feel welcome. You don’t need to prepare anything, have strong opinions, or be extroverted to participate. ***Do I need to actively participate, or can I just listen?*** It’s completely fine to just listen. You can decide for yourself at any time how active you want to be, and apart from a brief round of introductions, you won’t be asked to say anything. There may however be small group phases — short sections where all participants discuss in groups of 2–3 people. You’re not required to take part in these and can use the time for a break instead. ***How long does the event last?*** The event lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. ***Is the venue wheelchair accessible?*** Yes. This event takes place at the Schöneberg Central Library, which is wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately this isn’t always the case, as we host events at various locations. We therefore recommend always checking the FAQs before attending. ***What is the "Discussion Experiment"?*** The Discussion Experiment is an ongoing event series in which we continuously test methods that enable meaningful and inspiring group conversations. Among other things, we experiment with techniques that slow down discussions, promote clarity and help participants feel better heard. This event is one of four discussions we’re hosting at the Schöneberg Central Library. All events are free and open to everyone — we warmly invite you to join us. You can find more information on our homepage.
PBerg engineers - monthly meetup
PBerg engineers - monthly meetup
**This is 100% non-profit. The 15€ sign up fee for everyone is only to minimize last-minute cancellations. The total sum goes to a bar-tap that everyone can use to order drinks until the amount is used up. ‼️NO REFUNDS‼️** **‼️Please don't just show up without RSVPing here and paying the 15€. We have a separate room that has limited capacity and a specific drinks agreement with the bar - so splitting up the bill won't become a mess.‼️** **Small update on how your money get's used from May 2024 onwards:** As of this month, meetup.com has started charging me 34€ instead of 16€ per month. I've decided to distribute this fee evenly among all us participants every month. Example: In the last 12 meetups, the average number of attendees was 17. With 17 attendees I would effectively collect 230€ (after fees). I would now substract 34€ leaving us with 196€ that go to the bar. 15% get's tipped to the wait staff, in this case 30€, leaving us with 166€ effectively to order drinks. Hope everyone is cool with this system. :) Website: https://www.pberg-engineers.me WhatsApp groups: Please come and join us on WhatsApp! \- "PBerg Engineers \- NEWS" \- Only organizers can post announcements or polls \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/EqMJMmlCZO6LOOfAoG4yTj \- "PBerg Engineers \- DISCUSS" \- Everyone can post \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/LPuo76J83gF6IZMLUcM4u2 Please join those groups now if you're interested. :) All skill/education-levels welcome! :) Lightning Talks: \- TBD We'll also have a brief "Jobs: Lost & Found section". **Location:** From the street you will have to enter the right hand Cafe Chagall (yes, there are 2). Then, you go upstairs and our private room is in the far end corner of the building. We are a relaxed, non-formal meetup of like-minded software engineers who want to always keep learning and want to meet in physical reality over a drink or two. Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin is home to some of the most talented software engineers in the world, and every month, they come together for an exciting knowledge sharing meetup. This meetup is a chance for attendees to learn from each other, share their experiences, and gain new insights into the world of software engineering. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and the discussions are always engaging and thought-provoking. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting out in your career, you'll find something valuable at this meetup.
