Remote Circle - Milano / Starbucks
Remote Circle - Milano / Starbucks
Sei un remote worker? Uno studente? Un freelance? Ti serve un luogo calmo dove lavorare senza distrazioni, senza pressione, e allo stesso tempo socializzare? Remote Circle è una routine di lavoro condivisa e silenziosa. L’atmosfera è essenziale: tavoli condivisi, ritmo lento, concentrazione naturale. Si lavora in autonomia, ma non da soli. Rimani il tempo che ti serve: l’incontro è flessibile, discreto, operativo. Remote Circle non è un workshop e non è coworking. È un appuntamento leggero, replicabile, pensato per creare continuità senza esposizione.

Tech Startups on the Terrace - Milan (6 PM CET) - New Location - Open by Joivy
🍻 **Join Us for Tech Startups on the Terrace - Milan Edition!** 🍻 Hey there! 🌟 We have found a new location that suits out networking needs! Allora, we'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Terrace*. The event is scheduled for **6 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events in GMT. Thus, you will see the invitation for 7 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier, since the place will be closed from 9-9:30 PM. It's a relaxed and refreshing evening at the **Porta Romana**, in a lovely **coworking space Open by Joivy**, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London, and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community. Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening. **House Rules:** * Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The place owners know we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily. * No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together. * Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation. Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

 La coscienza non è un software — Krishnamurti nell'era dell'AI (It/En spoken)
La coscienza non è un software — Krishnamurti nell'era dell'AI (It/En spoken)
**Italiano** Già negli anni '80, quando il computer era appena agli albori, Krishnamurti pose una domanda che oggi risuona con urgenza straordinaria: ***"Se la macchina può fare tutto ciò che l'essere umano sa fare, cosa resterà dell'uomo?"*** In questo secondo incontro del gruppo esploreremo il tema dell'**impatto della tecnologia sull'essere umano** attraverso la lente degli insegnamenti di Krishnamurti — ma anche con apertura ad altre voci e prospettive. Krishnamurti non era contro la tecnologia in sé. Vedeva però chiaramente un pericolo sottile: che il cervello umano, abituandosi alla velocità, all'efficienza e alla delega alla macchina, diventasse sempre più meccanico, distratto, ottuso — incapace di quel movimento interiore che solo può portare una vera trasformazione. **Come si svolgerà l'incontro** L'incontro non è una lezione: è una conversazione aperta tra persone che vogliono **indagare insieme**, senza dare per scontata nessuna risposta. Nello spirito di Krishnamurti, non si tratta di "studiare" un pensiero, ma di osservare direttamente — in noi stessi — quanto la tecnologia stia già plasmando il modo in cui pensiamo, sentiamo e ci relazioniamo. **Alcune domande** che potremmo esplorare insieme: * La velocità e la frammentazione digitale stanno rendendo la nostra mente più superficiale? * Stiamo delegando alla macchina non solo il lavoro, ma anche il significato? * È possibile usare la tecnologia senza diventare noi stessi più meccanici? * C'è uno spazio interiore che nessuna macchina può toccare — e lo stiamo coltivando? Nessuna esperienza precedente richiesta. Portate solo la vostra presenza e la disponibilità a guardare senza giudicare e senza motivazioni. **Ingresso libero — posti limitati. Confermate la partecipazione tramite Meetup.** Ci vediamo al Rob De Matt; il locale è a vocazione sociale; la consumazione presso il locale non è obbligatoria ma consigliata in quanto ospita il nostro evento. **English** Already in the 1980s, when computers were just in their infancy, Krishnamurti asked a question that today resonates with extraordinary urgency: ***"If the machine can do everything a human being can do, what will be left of man?"*** In this second meeting of the group, we will explore the theme of **technology's impact on human beings** through the lens of Krishnamurti's teachings — but also with openness to other voices and perspectives. Krishnamurti was not against technology itself. However, he clearly saw a subtle danger: that the human brain, growing accustomed to speed, efficiency, and delegation to the machine, might become increasingly mechanical, distracted, and dull — incapable of that inner movement which alone can bring about true transformation. **How the Meeting Will Unfold** The meeting is not a lecture: it is an open conversation among people who want to enquire together, without taking any answer for granted. In the spirit of Krishnamurti, this is not about "studying" a thought, but about observing directly — within ourselves — how much technology is already shaping the way we think, feel, and relate to one another. **Some questions** we might explore together: * Are speed and digital fragmentation making our minds more superficial? * Are we delegating to the machine not only work, but also meaning? * Is it possible to use technology without becoming more mechanical ourselves? * Is there an inner space that no machine can touch — and are we nurturing it? No prior experience required. Bring only your presence and the willingness to look without judging and without agenda. **Free entry — limited seats. Please confirm your attendance via Meetup.** See you at Rob De Matt; the venue has a social vocation; purchasing something at the venue is not mandatory but encouraged, as it is hosting our event.

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**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.

Franklin Park Conservatory / Columbus Brewing Company
Franklin Park Conservatory / Columbus Brewing Company
**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
