Encontro In-person para prática de conversação em Inglês: Conversation meeting
Meeting tradicional do English Brazil para a prática do inglês em encontros presenciais.
Esse é um meeting que já é tradicional. Nos reunimos sempre em um local público para praticar conversação em inglês, e ficamos do lado de uma cafeteria para que você possa comprar o seu café enquanto conversa com a gente.
O objetivo é criar um ambiente descontraído e amigável para que todos possam praticar o inglês sem pressão. Não importa se você é iniciante ou avançado, todos são bem-vindos! Não é necessário confirmar presença, e o valor é de graça, também não cobramos nada para participar. Apenas apareça, mostre interesse, e alguém irá te convidar para puxar uma cadeira para perto da mesa para praticarmos.
Tradicionalmente nos reunimos sempre às sextas-feiras, dentro do Shopping Center 3 (ao lado da estação Consolação do metrô), no térreo, em frente à cafeteria Havanna Café. Sempre das 20h00 às 22h00, quando o shopping fecha. Então, se quiser praticar a conversação em inglês em um ambiente amigável e sem precisar estabelecer nenhum compromisso, este é o local certo!
\-\-\-
And foreigners are also welcome!
We Brazilians always have a very healthy curiosity to learn about your ideas, your experiences, and the differences in customs and languages. We are also, by nature, very willing to help foreigners feel more at ease here in Brazil. It's also a great opportunity to network and meet locals who can make you feel at home.
We always meet on Fridays, inside Shopping Center 3 (next to Consolação subway station), on the ground floor, in front of the Havanna Café. Always from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, when the mall closes.

Talk AGI-risk in multi language Meetup / falar sobre o risco da IA
-Multilingual Open Discussion on the Future of Artificial Intelligence
-especially talk about AGI risk
-CCSP cafe
### Open Multilingual Discussion on the Future of AI
Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly.
Many experts believe **Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)** — AI that could outperform humans in most intellectual tasks — may emerge within decades, or possibly sooner.
This raises important questions:
* Could AGI bring major scientific progress and prosperity?
* What risks might arise if powerful AI systems are not aligned with human values?
* How should society prepare for such transformative technologies?
Researchers and organizations such as the Future of Life Institute and the Machine Intelligence Research Institute study these issues under the fields of **AGI risk** and **AI alignment**.
Yet these discussions often remain limited to experts.
This event aims to **open the conversation to everyone**.
***
## Event Concept
**AGI Risk São Paulo** is an informal in-person gathering where people from different backgrounds discuss the future of AI.
You do **not** need to be an expert.
Participants may include:
* Engineers and researchers
* Entrepreneurs and students
* Artists and philosophers
* Curious beginners
* Anyone interested in the future of humanity and technology
The goal is **dialogue**, not lectures.
***
## Multilingual Discussion
To reflect São Paulo’s diversity, discussion may take place in multiple languages:
* Portuguese
* English
* Japanese
* Spanish
Participants are encouraged to switch languages freely.
***
## Possible Topics
* What is AGI and how close are we?
* AI safety and alignment
* The long-term future of humanity
* Governance and regulation of AI
* Economic and social impacts of advanced AI
No prior knowledge is required — **curiosity is enough**.
***
**Location:** São Paulo
**Format:** Informal in-person discussion
**Languages:** Multilingual
**Level:** Beginner friendly
If you are curious about the future of AI,
**join the conversation.**

### Discussão Aberta Multilíngue sobre o Futuro da IA
A Inteligência Artificial está avançando rapidamente.
Muitos especialistas acreditam que a **AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)** — uma IA capaz de superar humanos na maioria das tarefas intelectuais — pode surgir nas próximas décadas, ou até antes.
Isso levanta questões importantes:
* A AGI poderá trazer grande progresso científico e prosperidade?
* Que riscos podem surgir se sistemas de IA muito poderosos não estiverem alinhados com valores humanos?
* Como a sociedade deve se preparar para tecnologias tão transformadoras?
Pesquisadores e organizações como a Future of Life Institute e a Machine Intelligence Research Institute estudam essas questões nos campos de **AGI risk** e **alinhamento de IA**.
No entanto, essas discussões muitas vezes ficam restritas a especialistas.
Este evento quer **abrir essa conversa para todos**.
***
## Conceito do Evento
**AGI Risk São Paulo** é um encontro presencial e informal para discutir o futuro da IA.
**Não é necessário ser especialista.**
São bem-vindos:
* Engenheiros e pesquisadores
* Empreendedores e estudantes
* Artistas e filósofos
* Iniciantes curiosos
* Qualquer pessoa interessada no futuro da humanidade e da tecnologia
O objetivo é **diálogo**, não palestras.
***
## Discussão Multilíngue
Para refletir a diversidade de São Paulo, a conversa pode acontecer em vários idiomas:
* Português
* Inglês
* Japonês
* Espanhol
Os participantes podem alternar idiomas livremente.
***
## Possíveis Temas
* O que é AGI e quão perto estamos dela?
* Segurança e alinhamento da IA
* O futuro de longo prazo da humanidade
* Governança e regulação da IA
* Impactos econômicos e sociais da IA
Não é necessário conhecimento prévio — **basta curiosidade**.
***
**Local:** São Paulo
**Formato:** Encontro presencial informal
**Idiomas:** Multilíngue
**Nível:** Aberto para iniciantes
Se você tem curiosidade sobre o futuro da IA,

Free at Bexley Library
Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
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.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

She lives in Pittsburgh with her tiny dog Candace.
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!
