Filosofia Práctica - Belgrano 🇦🇷
**IMPORTANTE**: El evento transcurre en el parque, que es grande; y si el clima lo requiere en algún café cercano. Por tal motivo se recomienda ingresar al grupo de **Whatsapp** para acceder a la ubicación exacta y actualizada: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JXuUvIkBR8VKyanyUgFKWa
🏛️ **¿DE QUÉ SE TRATA FILOSOFÍA PRÁCTICA?**
Filosofía Práctica es un encuentro semanal para quienes disfrutan de conversaciones profundas, el pensamiento crítico, y la exploración de nuevas ideas. No necesitas conocimientos previos, solo curiosidad y ganas de compartir.
Cada semana abordamos un tema distinto, practicando la comunicación y construyendo una comunidad de personas reflexivas.
📓 **¿CÓMO FUNCIONA?**
* Compartimos el tema de la semana en nuestro grupo de WhatsApp con algunas preguntas guía.
* Nos reunimos a las 15:00, comenzando con una charla informal antes de la discusión.
* Conversamos en grupos pequeños para que todos puedan participar.
* Al final, cada grupo comparte sus conclusiones y cerramos la sesión alrededor de las 17:00.
🧧 **¿CUÁNTO CUESTA?**
¡Es completamente gratis! Si nos reunimos en un café, solo pedimos que apoyes el lugar comprando una bebida. Algunas sedes alquilan un espacio y pueden solicitar donaciones voluntarias, pero no es obligatorio.
💛 **LO QUE DICEN**
🗣 “Siento que Filosofía Práctica te ayuda a construir tu propio sistema de creencias a través de diversas perspectivas, sin imponer lo que está bien o mal.” – Ekam
🗣 “Desde la primera vez que asistí (el tema era autoridad), supe que este era mi lugar. Me encanta cómo nos desafía a cuestionar diferentes puntos de vista, fomentando la apertura y la flexibilidad mental.” – Daniel
🗣 “Siempre quise tener este tipo de conversaciones, pero nunca encontré el espacio adecuado… hasta ahora. La gente, los temas, los debates abiertos… todo hace que sienta que pertenezco aquí.” – Sofía
🤓 **PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES**
📌 **¿Debo estudiar antes de asistir?** – No es necesario. Nos interesa saber *qué piensas tú*, no solo lo que dijeron los filósofos clásicos. Si quieres compartir ideas de alguna corriente de pensamiento, ¡adelante!, pero no es un requisito.
📌 **¿Se habla español?** – ¡Sí! Organizamos los grupos según el idioma para que todos se sientan cómodos participando.
📌 **¿Puedo ir solo/a?** – ¡Por supuesto! Muchos asistentes llegan solos y terminan haciendo grandes conexiones.

💃 Argentine Tango – The dancing Embrace✨
🇪🇸Español Abajo 👇
Did you move to a new country and have to reinvent yourself?
Building friendships from scratch, navigating a new language, missing home — yet longing to belong?
Argentine Tango was born from exactly these stories. In Buenos Aires, generations of newcomers found connection in an unfamiliar land — through an improvised embrace, without fixed rules, simply listening and responding to one another.
🔹 **What to expect?**
✔️ Discover tango as a social language — not just a dance
✔️ Playful, guided partner exercises to explore connection through movement
✔️ The embrace, the walk, and the subtle dialogue that arises between two bodies
✔️ No pressure with complicated sequences - two left feet are welcome!
📍 **Where?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. We’ll walk together from Tienda del Cafe Italiano to the tango space (easy to combine with the Culture Shock Therapy social gathering before)
💰 **How much?** 12.000$ Limited spots available ✨
Please confirm your participation via WhatsApp until max. 24 hours before the class, so I can prepare the space accordingly. Send your message to +54911 6996 7828 (Valerie)
🙋🏼♀️ **Who?** Guided by Valerie Kattenfeld — tango dancer and teacher, passionate about creating warm, clear, and authentic spaces for connection through dance.
👟 **What to bring?** Comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in (sneakers or sandals you can close. No Flip Flops. Also socks are ok). You do not need to come with a partner.
☕ **Before?** Join our Culture Shock Therapy social meetup at Tienda de Café and come with us to the class!
Step into a living piece of Buenos Aires — and maybe recognize a part of your own story in the embrace.
✨ See you on the dance floor!

***
¿Te mudaste a otro país y tuviste que reinventarte?
¿Construir amistades desde cero, manejarte en otro idioma, extrañar tu hogar — y al mismo tiempo sentir el deseo de pertenecer?
El Tango Argentino nació exactamente de esas historias. En Buenos Aires, generaciones de recién llegados encontraron conexión en una tierra desconocida — a través de un abrazo improvisado, sin reglas fijas, simplemente escuchando y respondiéndose mutuamente.
🔹 **¿Qué podés esperar?**
✔️ Descubrir el tango como un lenguaje social — no solo como un baile
✔️ Ejercicios lúdicos y guiados en pareja para explorar la conexión a través del movimiento
✔️ El abrazo, la caminata y el diálogo sutil que surge entre dos cuerpos
✔️ Sin presión ni secuencias complicadas — ¡bienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos!
📍 **¿Dónde?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Caminaremos juntas/os desde Tienda del Cafe Italiano hasta el espacio de la clase (fácil de combinar con el encuentro social previo de Culture Shock Therapy).
💰 **¿Cuánto?** 12.000$ Cupos limitados ✨
Si querés sumarte, confirmá tu participación por WhatsApp hasta max. 24 horas antes de la clase, así puedo preparar el espacio con tiempo. El numero es: +54911 6996 7828 (Valerie)
🙋🏼♀️ **¿Quién?** Guiado por Valerie Kattenfeld — bailarina y profesora de tango, apasionada por crear espacios cálidos, claros y auténticos de conexión a través de la danza.
👟 **¿Qué traer?** Ropa cómoda y calzado con el que puedas moverte (zapatillas o sandalias que se puedan cerrar. No ojotas. También podés venir en medias). No necesitás venir en pareja.
☕ **¿Antes?** Sumate al encuentro social de Culture Shock Therapy en Tienda de Café y venite con nosotras/os a la clase.
Entrá en una pieza viva de Buenos Aires — y quizás reconozcas una parte de tu propia historia en el abrazo.
✨ ¡Nos vemos en la pista!

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection?
* And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
