Ancient Civilizations

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? 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.

A special gathering to **discover The White Villa from the inside**. This is not a typical event. It’s a moment to understand the space, the project and the different ways the villa is experienced beyond the usual gatherings. We’ll share what happens here — from coworking and events to the community that is slowly growing around it. You’ll get to explore the house, the terraces and the atmosphere in a more personal way, and see how everything connects. This session is designed for those who feel curious about the project and want to be closer to it. We’ll also introduce **different ways to be part of the community**, for those who feel aligned and want to stay connected or get more involved over time. We’ll have drinks and time to talk in a relaxed setting, with a **small group and limited access to keep the experience personal**. **Some people visit The White Villa.** **Others become part of it.** **📍 Private villa in Barcelona** Participation is limited and **subject to approval**, to maintain the atmosphere and balance of the group. Exact address shared after confirmation Location: +34 600 41 67 80 You can get a feel of the atmosphere on our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thewhitevilla._/).

Humans have been thinking critically about religion for at least thousands of years. Theories, themes and thinkers come and go - and then often pop up again in new and unexpected ways. In this new presentation Mike Stone will show how different theories of religion have influenced each other, and certain themes and thinkers resurface. The session will also outline current thinking on why the majority of people on our planet consider themselves to be religious. This session will be led by Mike Stone. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever to share. **Our events fill up very quickly.

Tras Indonesia y Palestina, haremos una parada con un toque retro en la antigua Unión Soviética. Para los aperitivos, después del Raval y Gracia, ¡nos toca Sants! Nuestro restaurante se llama Tapán y ofrece la riqueza de cuatro cocinas: la georgiana, ucraniana, rusa y armenia. Y, al más puro estilo georgiano, cenaremos en la suite ejecutiva, normalmente reservada para la Nomenklatura. Nos encontraremos a las 19:30 en Bodega Impala (Pavia 19) y a las 21:00 nos trasladaremos a Tapan (Tenor Masini 96). Añadimos un recordatorio de cómo funciona World's Kitchens en la práctica: * **C**omo reservaremos (10) plazas en el restaurante, **es importante que solo te apuntes si realmente vais a venir**! El último día para inscribiros es el 20 de mayo. * **Acordaremos con el restaurante un menú para compartir** (algunos entrantes y otros platos principales) para que todos podamos probar cosas diferentes. Si tienes alguna restricción alimentaria, por favor, infórmanos al inscribirte (envía un mensaje a Jacques para dejar un comentario en el evento). * **En cuanto a los gastos, los compartiremos**. Calculamos que la comida costará entre 25 y 30 euros. Para gestionar la cuenta fácilmente, que sea justa para todos y que el evento sea inclusivo, **limitaremos las bebidas durante la cena a cerveza, vino de la casa o refrescos sin alcohol**. ———————————— After Indonesia and Palestine, we are now going to make a “retro” stop over in the former Soviet Union! When it comes to aperitivos, after Raval and Gracia, it is the turn of Sants! Our restaurant is called Tapán and offers the richness of four cuisines: the Georgian, Ukranian, Russian and Armenian! And in good Georgian style we will be dining in the executive suite, normally reserved for the Nomenklatura. We will meet at 19.30 in Bodega Impala (Pavia 19) and at 21.00 we will move to Tapan (Tenor Masini 96) We add a reminder of how World’s Kitchens works in practical terms: * As we will reserve (10) places in the restaurant, **it will be important that you only sign up if you will indeed come**!

We expect the food will be around 25-30 euros. To manage the bill easily, make it fair for everybody and ensure the event inclusive, **we will restrict the drinks during dinner to beer, house wine or alcohol free refreshments**. Come to enjoy the flavours from the Caucasus!!! ———————————— Després d'Indonèsia i Palestina, ara farem una parada "retro" a l'antiga Unió Soviètica!

A summer night above Barcelona, dressed in white. From 8:30pm to 12:30am, the house opens for an evening of drinks, tapas and slow conversations under the night sky — a space to disconnect from the city and connect with others in a natural way. We keep it intimate — around 30 people — creating a relaxed and easy atmosphere where locals and internationals meet effortlessly. Most people come alone, and that’s part of the magic. Tapas will be served throughout the evening, along with wine, beer and drinks. Music will accompany the night without taking over it. Not a crowded party. A curated gathering with limited spots. **White attire is encouraged.** **Ideal for:** – Expats and internationals in Barcelona – People new to the city – Those looking to meet others in a natural way – Anyone after a different kind of night 📍 Private villa in Barcelona Exact address shared after confirmation Reservation required to attend Open-air night with terraces, pool and skyline views Limited access to preserve the atmosphere. **Location and price:** +34 600 41 67 80 **[Reservation](https://tally.so/r/1AKoN1)** **You can get a feel of the atmosphere on our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thewhitevilla._/).**

Primer encuentro de **Longevity Bunch Barcelona**. Nos encontraremos junto al **mamut del Parc de la Ciutadella** para dar un paseo tranquilo y después tomar un café o infusión cerca. La idea es conocernos y conversar sobre longevidad práctica: salud, entrenamiento, nutrición, descanso, hábitos, vínculos y todo aquello que nos ayuda a vivir más y mejor. No será una charla ni una clase. Será un encuentro informal, en grupo reducido, para compartir experiencias reales, ideas útiles y criterio. **Nos interesa un enfoque práctico y basado en evidencia, evitando dogmas, pseudociencia y soluciones milagro.** El mamut es un pequeño guiño a lo ancestral: recuperar hábitos básicos, movernos, conversar y crear tribu en plena ciudad. **Formato:** paseo tranquilo + café **Duración aproximada:** 90 minutos **Punto de encuentro:** junto al mamut del Parc de la Ciutadella **Recomendado para:** personas curiosas, con mentalidad de mejora continua e interés real por la salud y la longevidad

WQC has weekly Thursday night social nights at the Westerville Java Central. Come and grab a coffee and connect with the community: low stakes, chill environment, and tasty drinks. No registration is required; come as you are.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
