**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.** Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè! Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu. Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol. **ON ENS TROBEM?** Centre cívic drassanes Nou de la rambla, 43 https://maps.app.goo.gl/hMzFvMG8x864Tsyf6 **QUAN ENS TROBEM?** Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45. Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment. **QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM?** Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana. **QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS?** A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method). Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi. **QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS?** Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors: \- Per quins ideals val la pena morir? \- Per què mai estem satisfets? \- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual? \- És necessària la identitat? \- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia? \- Què és la postveritat? \- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\. \- Què és l'amistat? **QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP?** Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós.

**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** ¿Qué pasaría si tu vida no fuera una serie de coincidencias, sino una partitura escrita por tu propia esencia para su evolución? Existe una sabiduría sagrada, codificada hace milenios en los **Vedas**: los textos sagrados más antiguos de la India. Esta disciplina, conocida como Jyotish, entiende el cielo como un **doble mapa**: uno que señala el **propósito de tu alma** y otro que marca los **tiempos precisos** en los que se manifestarán los eventos clave. Te invitamos a una inmersión en la Astrología Védica (Jyotish), una potente herramienta de autoconocimiento que permite comprender las corrientes kármicas de tu vida. A diferencia de la astrología occidental, centrada más en la personalidad, el Jyotish utiliza el **zodíaco sideral** (la posición real de las estrellas) y pone énfasis en el Karma y en la evolución espiritual del alma. Esta visión profunda te permitirá entender y gestionar mejor tus desafíos, aprovechando los vientos favorables que el destino te depara. No es un evento para sentarse a esperar el futuro, sino para **recordar tu propósito, entender el cronómetro de tu vida y tomar las riendas** con consciencia plena. **Coste:** 5€ para gastos de organización. **Dirección:** Aulas Barcelona.

**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** **Tu cerebro es un mentiroso: descubre cuándo te miente** es un evento diseñado para ayudarte a entender cómo funciona tu mente más profunda y por qué, muchas veces, no es tu falta de capacidad lo que te detiene, sino las historias que tu propio cerebro te cuenta para mantenerte en tu zona de confort. A través de una mirada clara al subconsciente, aprenderás cómo se forman las creencias limitantes y cómo estas influyen silenciosamente en tus decisiones, emociones y resultados diarios. Exploraremos los miedos inconscientes, los patrones automáticos y los mecanismos de autoprotección que el cerebro activa, incluso cuando ya no son útiles. Identificarás al **saboteador interno**, esa voz que duda, posterga, justifica y distorsiona la realidad, haciéndote creer que “no es el momento”, que “no eres suficiente” o que “es demasiado arriesgado”. Comprenderás que este saboteo no es un enemigo, sino una parte de ti que necesita ser reconocida, entendida y reprogramada. Saldrás con herramientas prácticas para detectar cuándo tu mente te está mintiendo, cuestionar esas narrativas internas y recuperar el control de tus decisiones. **Coste:** 5€ para gastos de organización. **Dirección:** Amaltea (calle Diputación 164) Te esperamos! :)

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

OWASP is ending use of Meetup, so I built an eventbrite for the event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-development-risk-case-studies-and-how-agentic-ai-is-the-future-of-appsec-tickets-1981450622150?aff=oddtdtcreator AI is transforming how software is designed, developed, and deployed, dramatically accelerating velocity while introducing new categories of risk. As organizations adopt AI-assisted coding, autonomous agents, and increasingly complex model interactions, traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace. This talk examines emerging AI-driven risks through real case studies from the field, highlighting issues such as insecure code generation, data-leakage pathways, model manipulation, and evolving supply-chain threats. We will explore how engineering teams must adapt their people, processes, and governance models to secure AI-augmented development workflows effectively. The session will then introduce agentic AI as the next evolution in application security—autonomous systems capable of continuous analysis, multi-step reasoning, and real-time remediation. Attendees will learn how combining agentic AI with modern practices can reduce developer friction, improve coverage, and create a future-ready application security strategy designed for the demands of AI-native software development

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
