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](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.

You saw the “Tourists Go Home” signs, but you came here anyway. So, since you’re here… let’s make it a tour to (not) remember. Welcome to The Boring Tour Company — we show you Barcelona… but not the Barcelona you expected (or probably came for). ⸻ Agenda / What to Expect: • 90–120 minute walking tour through the most mundane, underwhelming, and absurd parts of Barcelona. • 6–8 stops highlighting “boring” spots… with commentary and facts. • Opportunities for terrible selfies, ridiculous photos, and forgettable memories. ⸻ What to Bring: • Comfortable walking shoes • A sense of humour — you’re going to need it to get through this • Phone or camera for capturing these “unknown (for a reason)” gems ⸻ Where to Meet: • Plaça Universitat — Metro Universitat • Look for the person holding the “Boring Tours” sign ⸻ Where We End: • Nearby café/bar for optional drinks, group photos, and (respecting the spirit of the tour) no excessive fun allowed You’re welcome.

**How biases, vandalism of information, and data poisoning compromise judgment and consciousness.** In this talk, we will look at the infrastructure of our knowledge. We live in an era where "looking it up" has become a reflex, yet the platforms we trust to be neutral arbiters of truth are increasingly susceptible to manipulation, vandalism, and systemic bias. Naturally, when this is combined with our own cognitive biases and a lack of time, will or possibilities to verify facts, we are left vulnerable before we even make up our minds. This session serves as the first chapter of what might be a new three-part series examining how emerging technologies, systemic biases and the curation of information shape our opinions and consciousness. While this is a stand-alone talk requiring no previous knowledge, it builds upon our earlier discussions on rationality. We will move from the theoretical - a brief history of encyclopedias and the enlightenment ideal of organized knowledge - to the practical reality of Wikipedia and other platforms today. This session will be led by Eyal. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever if you want to. **Our events fill up very quickly.

Clandestí és un espai de trobada amb veus referents de la complexitat on aquesta no s’edulcora ni es simplifica. Converses sense formalismes ni veritats intocables. Un format pensat per sacsejar certeses, obrir preguntes incòmodes i explorar la resolució de problemes complexos des d’on realment neixen: la tensió, l'ambigüitat, el dubte i la contradicció. Clandestí busca sobretot pensament viu. L'únic compromís és amb la resolució del problema. 11:00h -11:15h arribada 11:15h - 13:00h Què és això del CPS i perquè hauries de posar-te les piles si no ho coneixes (a càrrec de Javier Recuenco) 13:00h - 13:30h tancament i properes accions de l'associació CPSCat

**The Monthly Fresk Jam** The Fresk Jam is a spin-off of our classic ***Culture Jam***. It is a monthly get together where different workshops around sustainability and climate change are held simultaneously. These events by ***[Apocapoc BCN](https://www.apocapocbcn.com/?public&)***[ ](https://www.apocapocbcn.com/?public&) are hosted in our **Nest City Lab**. 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". The ***Culture Jam*** series aims to do just that. To attend to the workshops, please: 1\. RSVP to this meetup\. 2\. Register for the specific workshop you want to attend by clicking on the link under its description\. Thank you : \) **🔹 El Mural del Clima (ESP/ENG)** **18h00-21h00** El Mural del Clima es un juego colaborativo para concienciarnos sobre el cambio climático y encontrar soluciones colectivas para afrontar los retos. La propuesta es en castellano, catalàn y en ingles. En solo 3 horas, el taller colaborativo del Mural del Clima enseña a sus participantes la ciencia fundamental detrás del cambio climático y capacita la reflexión para tomar medidas. **[👉 INSCRIPCIÓN GRATIS AQUI](https://association.climatefresk.org/training_sessions/7e43bd08-5207-440c-b450-6128221b7932/show_public?language=es&tenant_token=36bd2274d3982262c0021755)** **[👉 FREE REGISTRATION HERE](https://association.climatefresk.org/training_sessions/49712e1a-96c5-41f2-b782-1ff1af2d4d79/show_public?language=es&tenant_token=36bd2274d3982262c0021755)** **🔹 El Mural de la Biodiversidad (ESP)** El Mural de la Biodiversidad es un taller lúdico y colaborativo que permite sensibilizar sobre la importancia de la biodiversidad y las causas y consecuencias de su erosión.

Soil has long been invisible and reduced to the simple use of support for our crops and buildings. It is only very recently that the fundamental role of soil in the balance of ecosystems has been highlighted. It is the living interface between plants and minerals, home to over half of known biodiversity and harbors life which is responsible for multiple vital functions, at the origin of the development of life as we know it today. Ready to take a dive? This 3-hour workshop aims to develop a common understanding of how soils work and the stakes involved in preserving them. It is divided into three parts where you will: 1\. Discover soils’ richness by exploring how they function\. 2\. Identify the most common farming practices and their impact\, over time\, on soils and the environment 3\. Reflect on existing alternative practices\, the obstacles to their adoption from a farmer's point of view and what other actors are involved in bringing about systemic change\. **[REGISTER](https://www.eventbrite.es/e/living-soils-workshop-tickets-1982877769787?aff=oddtdtcreator)**

**REQUIRED READING & VIEWING** * [The Political Philosophy of John Locke and Its Influence on the Founding Fathers and the Political Documents They Created](https://individualistideas.com/political-philosophy-of-john-locke/) **(paragraphs 2–5 and 2nd to last paragraph)** * [The History Of The Censorship Industry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFmln08Dq1U) (1 hour video) **INTRODUCTION** A major change in the culture is Americans' attitude to free speech. In this Meetup we'll explore the philosophic justifications for free speech and analyze the ideas and policies that threaten it. **POINTS OF DISCUSSION** * What is free speech? * What is its philosophic justification? * By what mechanism is free speech protected by the government? * Are there exceptions to free speech not protected by the first amendment, such as shouting "fire!" in a crowded theater? * Are "hate speech" and “mis-, dis- and malinformation," unique forms of speech that should be banned by private companies and/or the government? * Does the right to free speech conflict with the rights of companies like Chase, Facebook, PayPal, Etsy, and Airbnb to "de-platform" their users? * What are new threats to free speech that have arisen over the past two decades? **(Required viewing:** [The History Of The Censorship Industry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFmln08Dq1U)) * What are the most concerning threats to free speech in 2026? After the event, any interested guests will be invited to continue the conversation at a nearby restaurant. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Our Meetup location, Le Pain Quotidien, is a private business; so that our group remains welcome, please don't arrive with beverages purchased from outside, and please be willing to purchase at least one beverage and/or menu item from our waitress (rather than on the way in). **AN IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING NO-SHOWS** Unfortunately, there is a longstanding problem in our group with large numbers of people who sign up frivolously and neither cancel nor show up, leading to large waiting lists of others who lose their opportunity to attend. Please note that going forward, those who sign up and neither cancel nor show up or habitually cancel at the last minute will be permanently removed from the group. If you need to cancel, please have the courtesy to give at least 24 hours' advance notice so those on the waiting list have an opportunity to attend.

**Play and listen to original music!** The Songwriter Circle at Brooklyn Ethical is a monthly gathering dedicated to musical expression and creativity. Everyone from beginners to pros are welcome to share songs in progress, exchange feedback, and jam together! **What to expect?** We'll take turns sharing songs we've written ourselves and discussing the art of music and songwriting from a learner's perspective. Feel free to bring your instrument of choice, but if you just have your singing voice, that's great too. We can also play recordings on our lovely sound system; this is a great option for music that can't easily be performed live. We'll have two rounds of sharing, then a rest break. Then one or two more rounds depending on available time and energy. Drop by any time from 7 to 9 pm! We do have the space until 10 pm so if there are a lot of us, everyone can have a chance to share. RSVP is not necessary but encouraged! **What to share?** * A song you or a friend composed * A song that you have adapted from another song * An interesting/creative cover of a song * Standalone chord progressions or lyrics * Questions or thoughts on the creative process * Requests for help, feedback, jamming, sing-along, etc. **Does it cost anything?** We don't have an attendance fee. We do ask for a $10 donation or whatever you can give to help pay for the space. All proceeds go to our host, the [Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture](https://bsec.org). **Frequently Asked Questions** **Where is it?** We're hosted by the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. Here is the address: 269 4th Ave (between Garfield Pl and 1st St) Brooklyn, NY We're near these subway stations: * Union St. (D, N, R, W) (2-minute walk) * 4 Av-9 St (F, G) (11-minute walk) * Grand Army Plaza (2, 3, 4) (12-minute walk) **When is it?** We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM/10 PM (ending time varies based on attendance). **Do I *have* to bring a song that I've written?** No, you don't have to :) You're welcome to simply bring your ears if you like! Discussion during turns is encouraged, so you can always use your turn to talk or ask questions about the composition or writing process. **I'm shy...** **My song is bad...** **I just started writing music...** Our hope is to create a comfortable space for performing original music, even if it's terrible :) You will find all levels of skill and composing ability here. It is more important that you practice with us, and not worry about being "perfect"! **I have another question...** Feel free to post your questions as a comment on the main group page or any event page! **See you there!**

PLEASE NOTE: We sometimes need to move to a new location at the last minute if our room at the restaurant is unavailable. If you can't find us, our secondary location is STARBUCKS, 10 Metro Blvd, Clifton, NJ 07014 https://maps.app.goo.gl/UzsiXKQJBGXTdcZ47 \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* There is NO NEED TO RSVP. Just show up. This meeting is for getting to know people and discussing strategies to deal with the mass psychosis happening around us. We want to build a community that will act as a support system as we battle the Zombie Apocalypse. It won't last forever, but we still have to survive it. If there is a topic you want to talk about just bring it up. We will talk all together unless the group gets large, then we generally split up and bounce around between discussions. Please purchase something to support our host - just coffee, a roll, a pastry, or bread. The restaurant opens at noon, so sometimes a few of us will remain for lunch. When purchasing, we try to use cash whenever possible. Please don't bring outside food or drink. We can sometimes head to other locations, so try to come on time just in case!
