Coffee/Tea While Knitting

Hello everyone, Welcome to the Monthly Book Club, the discussion edition of the Budapest Silent Book Club for those who enjoy reading the same book and sharing their thoughts together. This month, we’ll be reading Humble Pi by Matt Parker a funny, surprising, and eye-opening book about what happens when maths goes wrong in the real world. From computer glitches and engineering mistakes to everyday miscalculations, the book shows how deeply our modern lives rely on numbers and how absurd the results can be when something goes slightly off. It’s an entertaining read that opens the door to conversations about technology, logic, human error, and the strange ways small mistakes can lead to very big consequences. 🕕 **Time:** 18:00–20:00 – Group discussion about the book (no silent reading hour this time) 📍 **Location: Csiga Cafe**

**Looking to connect with other business-minded people in Budapest?** Come join us for a laid-back evening with fellow entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives living and working in the city. There’s no formal agenda – just good vibes, real conversations, and a chance to meet others who understand the ups and downs of building your own path. We're looking forward to meeting you. **P.S.** Join our WhatsApp group for event updates and coordination: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FDSt53cB0xx3uWfw8oqxYi

„A bizonyítékokat és a józan észt kell használnunk, hogy a lehető legtöbb jót tegyük.” **William MacAskill - EA.** Mi lenne, ha a jótett nem a szándékról… hanem az optimalizálásról szólna? **(Az esemény magyar nyelven zajlik!)** Ez alkalommal az Effective Altruism (EA) filozófiáját vizsgáljuk meg — egy modern mozgalmat, amelyet William MacAskill-hez hasonló gondolkodók vezetnek, és amely azt állítja, hogy indoklást, adatokat és tudatos priorizálást kellene használnunk ahhoz, hogy a lehető legtöbb jót tudjuk tenni. Ez pedig néhány kényelmetlen kérdést vet fel: A moralitás leredukálható számokra és eredményekre? Lehet, hogy eddig kevéssé hatékony ügyekre adományoztunk? Kötelességünk több pénzt keresni, hogy többet adhassunk? Megvizsgáljuk az EA kulcsfogalmait: - A hatás maximalizálása a jó szándék helyett - Ügyválasztás hatékonyság alapján - Az „earn to give” (keress, hogy adhass) etikája - A hosszú távú jövő kockázatainak növekvő hangsúlya **Bevezetés (15 perc)** Rövid bemutatkozással kezdünk, ahol a résztvevők röviden bemutatják magukat. **Többek között az alábbi kérdéseket is feltesszük (1 óra 45 perc):** 1. Utilitarizmus: Mi ez, és miért kap újra erős fókuszt? 2. Nem‑következményelvűség vs. következményelvűség – melyik szolgálja jobban az emberiséget? 3. Racionálisabb morális rendszer ez… vagy inkább embertelen? - A barátodat mentenéd meg, vagy 5 távoli idegent? 1. Figyelmen kívül hagyja az érzelmeket, kapcsolatokat és a személyes értelmet? 2. Három egymástól különböző ember élete ugyanannyit ér? 3. A megmentett emberéletek száma a legjobb mérőszám a jótettre? Akkor is, ha a jövő kevesebb emberrel élhetőbb lenne (erőforráshiány vagy más okok miatt)? 4. Ki dönti el, mit jelent „a legtöbb jót tenni” vagy „hatékonyabbnak lenni”? 5. A plutokratáké legyen a jövő alakításának hatalma? Vagy lennének jobb alternatívák? 6. Hosszútávelvűség: mindig elsődleges erkölcsi prioritásnak kell-e lennie a hosszú távú jövő pozitív befolyásolásának? 7. EA és hosszútávelvűség: egy jobb és igazságosabb jövőt biztosítanak, vagy egy új disztópia felé vezetnek? 8. Mennyire számít egy mozgalom megítélésében egy botrány? **RSVP**: Kérjük, itt a Meetupon erősítsd meg a részvételedet, hogy biztosítsd a helyed. Ha mégsem tudsz részt venni, kérjük add át a helyedet a várólistán lévőknek. Adományokat 1.000 Ft-tól (minimum 400 Ft) szívesen fogadunk a meetup költségeinek fedezésére. **Ha ételt szeretnél rendelni, vagy alkoholmentes bort fogyasztasz, nem szükséges adományoznod a csoport számára**.

In this session, we dive into Pranayama, (an ancient practice to discover the flow of energy within) and the power of conscious breathing, which is one of the most important aspects of the original yogic lifestyle. On these Tuesday evenings, we do more than just a breathwork session: this is an opportunity to explore a true harmony between our breath & the mind - body connection. We begin with a 15-minute chest-opening yoga sequence to gently expand our lungs and prepare for deeper breathing (no need for gym clothes though, just an open mind). Then, we explore different breathing techniques designed for self-awareness, relaxation, and energy flow. These classes are designed to help you discover how breath can be a tool to balance, energize, and center yourself. To close, we immerse in a short yet profound "silent concert", a meditative sound journey where 174 Hz sound waves or white noise guide us into a state of deep harmony. Whether emotions are light or heavy, thoughts are clear or clouded, this is a space to simply be and find some peace.

Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest! The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes) Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners. The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation. * Do I need any special clothing? No special clothing needed. * Does the attendance cost anything? No, the meditation is free.

El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

Sziasztok! **English below** Szeretnél egy kis szünetet tartani a rohanó városi életben? Vagy csak kipróbálnál valami újat egy jó társaságban? Nálunk egyszerű és nagyszerű a koncepció: mindenki hozza a saját könyvét, amiben egy órán át, teljes csendben haladhat. Az olvasás után pedig jöhet a legjobb rész, a kötetlen beszélgetés, ahol megosztjuk egymással, ki mit olvasott. Hogy miről szoktunk beszélgetni? Bármiről! A témáink a madarak evolúciójától kezdve, az Ubuntu (a boldogság afrikai filozófiája) szemléletén át egészen addig terjedhetnek, hogy milyen hatással van a Hold a szervezetre. **Fontos:** Ez egy teljesen magyar nyelvű esemény. A bemutatkozó kör az elején és a kötetlen beszélgetés a végén is magyarul zajlik. Az olvasás csendje persze mindenkié, így nyugodtan hozhatsz bármilyen nyelvű könyvet. 📍 **Helyszín és Találkozó:** Irány a Margit-sziget! A közös találkozási pontunk a **Zenélő szökőkútnál** lesz. Onnan együtt keresünk egy kényelmes, árnyas-füves helyet a sziget közepén. Keressetek egy könyvekkel felszerelt csapatot, mi leszünk azok! ⏰ **Késel egy picit?** Semmi gond! Ha már nem találsz minket a találkozási ponton, nézd meg az esemény kommentjeit – oda fogjuk kiposztolni a pontos koordinátákat, hogy hol telepedtünk le. **MIt hozz magaddal?** * Az aktuális könyvedet. * Egy plédet vagy pokrócot, amin kényelmesen elhelyezkedsz. * Inni- és rágcsálnivalót ízlés szerint. **A Menetrend:** * **14:30–15:00** – Találkozó és helykeresés. 14:40-ig várunk a megbeszélt ponton, majd együtt keresünk egy zöld területet, ahol megtartjuk a bemutatkozó kört. * **15:00–16:00** – A csendes olvasás órája. * **16:00–17:00** – Választható beszélgetés a könyvekről (magyarul). * **17:00- –** Kötetlen beszélgetés A részvétel ingyenes, de a helyek korlátozottak. Kérlek, mindenképpen jelentkezz az eseményre, ha jönnél! Várunk szeretettel! 📌 [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1271292-budapest-silent-book-club) 📌 [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/people/Budapest-Silent-Book-Club/61567388151835) \*\*\* **✨** **Önkéntes hozzájárulás** A meetup regisztráció költségeire gyűjtünk adományokat, hogy eseményeket az eddig megszokott színvonalon és nyitott emberek között tarthassuk.
