Danish Language Cafe
Danish Language Cafe
https://www.facebook.com/korsgadesprogcafe/ Come and join our cosy language cafe. We recommend that you already speak some Danish (maybe around module 3 on sprogskole) so you can join and understand the conversation. We are mostly two Danes joining, so we can make two groups: beginners and more advanced. We are having conversations while drinking tea. If you have an exam coming up, we can speak about your exam subjects some of the time. Small donations (10-20 kroner) are appreciated, to support the rent of the place. You find us in the basement of Korsgade 19. It is a door to the right of the main entrance.

Authentic You Me Slow Friending | Meet new people | No Small Talk [30+yo]
**Tired of small talk? Come meet new people meaningfully - the Authentic You Me way!** **\*\*\*Looking to grow your social circle? Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk.\*\*\*** No business cards or job titles. No small talk. No pressure to perform. No intimidating crowds. \-\-\- If you have answered yes to two or more of the above, then you have come to the right place. **Welcome to Authentic You Me** We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles cos old friends have moved away or onto new life phases. Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: *"What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?"* Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance. While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong. **Authentic You Me** *was born with a desire to change that.* \-\-\- \*\*\*𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗲, the home of mindful, intentional socials we baptised as 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 - our own thoughtful, refreshing and carefully crafted way of changing how we meet and connect with others.

Wild Technology (!) — Bioengineering, Enhancement, Acceleration & Future Humans
Wild Technology (!) — Bioengineering, Enhancement, Acceleration & Future Humans
**“Wild Technology (!) — Beyond AI, Beyond Control?”** Bioengineering, Enhancement, Acceleration, and the Future of Being Human Technology is no longer just something we *use*. It’s something that reshapes bodies, minds, and even evolution itself. From gene editing and brain–computer interfaces to synthetic life and runaway AI, we’re entering a phase where the boundaries of the human are no longer fixed. This isn’t a futurist hype session or a tech demo. It’s a philosophical conversation about limits, responsibility, and what it means to remain human in a world of radical technological power. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Beyond AI: bioengineering, gene editing, and human enhancement * Are we improving humanity—or redesigning it? * Who gets access to enhancement—and who is left behind? * Is there such a thing as “playing God,” or is that fear outdated? * Do moral limits still apply when technology moves faster than ethics? * What happens when evolution becomes a design choice? * And finally… is there a point where technology stops serving life—and starts redefining it? Casual discussion. No technical background required—just curiosity and a willingness to think boldly and carefully at the same time. Whether you feel excited, uneasy, inspired, or alarmed—you’re not alone. Let’s explore the edge of the possible—and ask where, if anywhere, we should draw the line.

Join us for a tour of Brothers Drake Meadery in Grandview, hosted by the owner Oron Benary. He will explain the mead-making process and offer us generous samples of their fine meads. Mead is basically wine that is made from honey instead of grapes. There are many different flavors that range from dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, to sweet. They are best known for their Apple Pie Mead. Oron has offered us a special price of 5.00 each person for the tour and tasting, which is normally 25.00 per person. I've taken the tour several times, and it's always enlightening and fun. Rebecca will bring a tea that will pair well with the mead for a tea tasting afterwards. Park anywhere around the building. Please avoid parking in front of the houses in the neighborhood behind the Meadery. Please keep your RSVP current.

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
