Time Management

Hi everyone, Following the fantastic energy of our first gathering of 2026 at Horn & Company in January—where we kicked off the year with three insightful speeches—we are excited to keep that momentum going! While the January session gave us plenty of food for thought, this next meetup is all about the community.

This is a "pay-your-own-way" event - you can order drinks and snacks as you wish. **Date and Time:** Tuesday, 19 May 2026 @ 18:30 – 20:00 **Location:** Near Zurich HB - details will follow and be shared with all registered participants on Meetup. **Costs:** This is a "pay-your-own-way" event.

In diesem **5-wöchigen Live-Programm** lernst du, deinen inneren Zustand bewusst zu regulieren, statt dauerhaft gegen dich selbst zu arbeiten.

Genau das beobachte ich immer wieder: * Der Kopf läuft ständig weiter * Abschalten fällt schwer * Innere Unruhe trotz Erfolg * Verantwortung fühlt sich dauerhaft schwer an * Energietiefs & Überforderung * Funktionieren nach außen — aber innerlich erschöpft sein In diesem 5-wöchigen Live-Programm lernst du, deinen inneren Zustand bewusst zu regulieren, statt dauerhaft gegen dich selbst zu arbeiten. Das ist **kein Entspannungsprogramm**. Es geht darum, unter Druck klar, präsent und leistungsfähig zu bleiben.

EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT. Try a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy. A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy, it is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit. 💡 **How it works:** Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change: 1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs 2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies 4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries. 🌿 **Who is this for?** For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology. 🕒 **Important:** This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment. Price for newbies: 250 CHF

**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.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBD
