Simirthi Self-Remembrance Meditation
**SIMIRTHI - SELF-REMEMBERANCE MEDITATION**
Simirthi is a meditation practice that invites us to return to self-remembrance - a simple yet profound awareness of being present with ourselves. Through guided awareness and a three-point attention practice (ABC), we cultivate a deeper connection between body, breath, and consciousness.
This practice supports clarity, presence, and inner balance, helping us move beyond the constant activity of the mind and reconnect with our true nature. Simirthi originates from ancient understanding and has been brought into modern practice through the teachings of Dhyan Vimal at the Dhyan Vimal Institute for Higher Learning. It is an invitation to pause, observe, and remember who we truly are.

Swimming in the Limmat
Hello dear Challengers,
if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015.
Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos.

See you there!

19:00 \~ 19:40
*Christian Heitzmann*
**Why Documentation Won’t Write Itself—and AI Won’t Save You**
For the last 15+ years, I’ve joined and consulted software teams that all struggled with the same problem: nobody likes writing documentation, and everybody pays the price for it. New developers spend weeks reverse-engineering codebases, architecture lives in people’s heads, and wikis quietly decay into noise.
With AI now entering the picture, many hope it will fill the gaps. It won’t.
I’ll show the simple ideas that change everything: how to think about documentation in the right levels, how to keep it close to the code, and how to avoid the decay we all know too well. These are the decisions that have to be made before any tool or process can work.
The documentation won’t write itself. But there are ways to make it far easier and far more reliable.
19:40 \~ 19:50
**Short Break**
19:50 \~ 20:10
*Marco Gähler*
**How to write good code**
There is an infinite amount of solutions how you can solve a programming problem. Some are better, others are worse. The best solutions are easy to understand, maintain and errors are not able to hide. I wrote a book "Software Engineering Made Easy" about this topic and I'm more than happy to explain some principles that make your code better. Most of them are quite simple to understand, once you understand the mechanics, why your code always breaks.
20:10 \~ 20:30
*Marius Ishida*
**AI: The Lightsaber Problem**
My talk will challenge the popular narrative that AI fundamentally democratizes power by showing that, which I believe is not true at all. While generative AI lowers entry barriers for basic tasks, it disproportionately amplifies the productivity and leverage of already computer literate users. Empirical research shows that AI acts as a skill multiplier rather than a true equalizer, with outcomes strongly dependent on users’ ability to frame problems, verify outputs, and integrate tools into complex workflows. As a result, AI risks reinforcing a new AI driven digital divide, where technical literacy—not access alone—determines who truly benefits.
20:30 onward
More drinks & chat
We look forward to see you there!

Handlung:
Der 70-jährige Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) bemüht sich intensiv darum - ohne seine verstorbene geliebte und vertraute Lebensgefährtin -, seinen Ruhestand mit den üblichen Altersaktivitäten auszufüllen und dabei beglückt zu werden: Reisen, Joggen, Joga, Sprachenlernen, an Beerdigungen teilnehmen, Enkel hüten, denen er zu viel ist, usw. Das gelingt ihm nicht und er fühlt sich leer ohne seine Frau, die das Leben trotz schwerem Leben leicht genommen hat. Er erfreut sich nämlich daran, ein Mitspieler zu sein, dazuzugehören, gebraucht zu sein und das Leben so mitzugestalten, dass alle aufeinander bezogen leben können.
Er meldet sich als Senior-Praktikant für eine Resozialisierung bei einer erfolgreichen Mode-Website mit lauter jungen Menschen. Als alter Mann erscheint es so, dass er ein Hindernis bei der Firma und deren Gründerin und Chefin Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway) darstellt. Anfangs als altbackener Mensch mit Anzug und Krawatte sowie Unkenntnis von Computerprogrammen belächelt, der nicht zu der neuen Welt passt, bringt er sich nach und nach feinsinnig und sehr konstruktiv in das Betriebsgeschehen ein.
Er ist erfasst schnell die Gefühlslage der Einzelnen, beobachtet genau und mit Sympathie, nähert sich behutsam an und hilft praktisch, ausgleichend und ohne moralische Beurteilung. Er ist sich nicht zu schade für irgendeine sogenannt untere Arbeit, sondern packt zu, wo er andere erfreuen kann, ohne sie ins Defizit zu bringen. Seine warmherzige und umsichtige Herangehensweise ermöglicht es allen, sich entwickeln zu können und sich mit ihren Schwachpunkte nicht gedemütigt zu fühlen.
So berät er einen jüngeren Mit-Praktikanten, wie er eine kleine Wohnung finden könnte, was nicht erfolgreich ist. Daraufhin lädt er ihn - ganz fürsorglich - als Mitbewohner zu sich ein.
Er legt einem Mitarbeiter unaufdringlich nahe, mit einer Freundin direkt zu sprechen anstatt ein sms zu schreiben, um dessen Fehltritt wieder einzurenken.
Er verhilft - zuvorkommend und achtsam - der überforderten Sekretärin dazu, sich helfen zu lassen, ohne sich entwertet zu fühlen.
Er begleitet die mutige Chefin der Firma, Jules, in allen Lebenslagen, stützt sie vorausschauend in ihren grossen Fähigkeiten, die Wünsche der Kunden entgegenzunehmen, und hält sie taktvoll davon ab, einen Geschäftsleiter einzustellen, indem er ihre Selbstsicherheit stärkt und ihre Selbstzweifel sachte ausräumt, insbesondere dadurch, dass er besonnen jede kritische Äusserung in ein aufbauendes Entgegenkommen umbaut. Sie fühlt sich von seiner warmherzigen und ausgeglichenen Art erfasst und bringt ihm immer mehr Vertrauen entgegen und bereichert sein Leben durch ihre zupackende Art und ihre Wertschätzung seines achtsamen Umgangs. Sie konnte so auch ihr Kindheitsgefühl überwinden, dass sie mit ihrer Art nur aneckt und nicht genügt.
Im Film zeigt sich, dass eine erfolgreiche Frau mit Familie nicht beweisen muss, dass sie gut genug ist und deshalb die immensen Anforderungen alleine bewältigen muss. Er steht ihr so ausdauernd und vorausschauend in kleinen Dingen zur Seite und ermöglicht ihr, dass sie sich entspannen kann und nicht überfordert sein muss angesichts dieser vertrauensvollen, unaufgeregten und umsichtigen Rückenstärkung. Die freundschaftliche gegenseitige Zuneigung entsteht nach und nach und macht das Leben für beide und für die ganze Firma immer frohgemuter.
Es zeigt sich wie so oft in unserer Kultur, dass sich Jules Mann als Hausmann und ehemals besser verdienend, der seine Arbeit aus Liebe zu ihr zugunsten von ihrer Selbständigkeit aufgegeben hat - ganz unbewusst - unwert fühlt und sein Kleinheitsgefühl mit einer anderen Frau zu überwinden versucht. Es gelingt ihnen jedoch, ihre Zugehörigkeit zueinander wieder aufleben zu lassen. Sie bringt zum Ausdruck, wie viel ihr eine innige Verbindung bedeutet und ihr Mann erkennt, dass ihn ein Schwächegefühl und vielleicht auch Eifersucht von seiner Frau weggetrieben hatte.
Im Film zeigt sich in allen Beziehungen, wie wir Menschen generell Freude am Leben entwickeln können, wenn wir füreinander empfinden können. Verständnis und freundschaftliche Gefühle kommen dann auf, wenn wir uns erfasst fühlen und gleichwertig füreinander wichtig sind. Das gilt für das Alter, den beruflichen Alltag genauso wie in Partnerschaften und in der Beziehung von Frau und Mann.

Algorithmic Trading & Crypto
## (Lesson 2)
## What to expect
Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required.
### Why we meet (two-session structure)
This meetup is structured as **two lessons**:
**Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)**
* What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not)
* Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline
* What “24/7 execution” means in practice
* Q&A and open discussion
**Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)**
* A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need
* Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts
* A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions
(You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.)
### What to bring
To make the second lesson smooth, please bring:
* **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup)
* **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration)
If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both.
### Who this is for
* People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline
* Beginners who want a structured approach
* Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress
### Agenda
* Welcome + introductions
* Lesson focus of the day (Why / How)
* Guided walkthrough (where applicable)
* Q&A + next steps
### How to find the group
* Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group.
* I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

Using Philosophy to Cope with Current Events
So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!

Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
