Men's Circle Of Excellence Gathering XV
The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity.
The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life.
Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy.
We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom.
How it works:
• Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces.
• Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles.
• Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement.
• Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships.
Recommendation:
• Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle.
Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.

Identity game evening - self-improvement & learning about each other
Get to know others and discover, reinforce & improve yourself through this psychological community game!
**"Identity**" is a psychological self-improvement game that lets participants have a glimpse into themselves and each other from different aspects of life and providing opportunity to share relevant experiences and thoughts. You'll get a random simple task with every card you draw such as:
**"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.**" -> How could you use this insight? What does it say to you? How does it bring you forward?
"**When did you last have me-time?** What did you do? What things do you usually do for your own joy?"
"**Every ending opens up a new gate.**" -> Recall at least 2 painful stations in your life when something important for you ended! What good things could begin thanks to these endings?
Substantial short talks in a friendly, respectful, non-judgemental (really: judgements, *even advices* are forbidden by the rules!) environment, while comfortably having a drink. Let others surprise you positively, learn about them, reflect on yourself internally and improve your personal life thanks to select short tasks that aim to bring you forward!
**The game will be held in english!**
The game only exists in hungarian version, so for instant translation of the cards, **Google Lens is recommended on your phone**!
The event will be held in the underground part of Élesztő (turn right just after entering the garden)!

Session #32 - Veganism: Environment, Health and Ethics
*“If a being suffers, there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration.”*
*―* Peter Singer - Animal Liberation
**Session in english! Also available on [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-veganism-environment-health-and-ethics-2026-07-02/) for Karma Points.**
According to Nature.com there is evidence of humans eating meat over 2,5 million years ago. But modern industrial societies have created a new ethical dilemma: is eating meat a viable human choice, or a moral issue?
In this session we will explore the philosophy of veganism and the question of whether animals deserve moral consideration comparable to humans.
We will examine different perspectives through anthropology, nutrition, environmental and moral arguments. Does meat consumption play a necessary role in health? Are plant-based diets morally clean? What is best for the environment and health? How much should biology influence ethics?
The discussion will also explore the moral arguments around animal suffering and responsibility, including ideas from thinkers such as Peter Singer and his critique of “speciesism” — the idea that belonging to a different species alone should not determine the value of a being’s interests.
The goal is not to reach an agreement, but to challenge our assumptions about food, morality, nature, and the relationship between humans and other animals.
**Introduction of guests (15 minutes)**
We start with a short introduction of the topic and of the guests
* Are you a vegan or vegetarian? for what reason?
**Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)**
**Veganism and enviroment**
* Is it true that kettle producing is massively environmentally harmful?
1. Plant food going to kettle food
2. Land allocation
3. Water footprint
4. CO2 footprint
* The paradox between small scale and large scale. Large scale is cheaper, accessible and environmentally more efficient, but animals are generally in worst conditions.
* A tale about methane from wasted food.
**Veganism and health**
1. Some statistics: growth of veganism.
2. If eating meat improves health outcomes for some people or populations, does that create a moral justification to continue eating meat?
3. Should moral choices about food depend on scientific certainty?
(Example: nutrition science changes frequently — how much evidence is enough?)
4. Is choosing a vegan diet a personal health decision, or should it become an ethical obligation?
5. If lab-grown meat becomes identical to animal meat but without killing animals, would both vegans and meat eaters accept the change?
**Anthropology**
1. If humans are naturally omnivores, does that justify eating meat?
(“natural” vs “morally acceptable”)
2. Many traditional cultures hunted animals while also showing deep respect toward them. Is there a possibility to mimic this in our modern world?
3. Humans carry the full moral responsibility compared to other species, how sustainable is that?
4. Is having cats and dogs morally acceptable?
**The moral questions:**
1. Peter Singer argues that suffering matters regardless of species. If an animal can suffer, why should its suffering count less than human suffering?
2. Is “speciesism” comparable to other forms of discrimination, where we privilege our own group?
3. If we would never accept another intelligent species farming humans for food, why do we accept farming animals?
***
**RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup OR [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-veganism-environment-health-and-ethics-2026-07-02/) (get Karma Points for assisting!). In both cases, yield your space to another person in the waiting list.
We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup.
**If you order food (vegetarian and vegan available), or alcohol-free wines, you dont need to donate for the group. Thank you!**

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
