Global Citizenship

Every Saturday at 8:00 PM, we gather in the city to share languages, cultures, and conversations. [[Click this whatsapp groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CrJ7hXrYgckCM0f1D4kRUZ)] Our group is made up of friendly 20s–30s people — locals, expats, and travelers alike — who come together to meet new people and explore different ways of thinking. Whether you’re new to Budapest or call it home, this meetup is your chance to connect in a relaxed, open-minded space. Join us to swap stories, practice new languages, and build genuine friendships across cultures.

Sziasztok! **English below** Szeretnél egy kis szünetet tartani a rohanó városi életben? Vagy csak kipróbálnál valami újat egy jó társaságban? Nálunk egyszerű és nagyszerű a koncepció: mindenki hozza a saját könyvét, amiben egy órán át, teljes csendben haladhat. Az olvasás után pedig jöhet a legjobb rész, a kötetlen beszélgetés, ahol megosztjuk egymással, ki mit olvasott. Hogy miről szoktunk beszélgetni? Bármiről! A témáink a madarak evolúciójától kezdve, az Ubuntu (a boldogság afrikai filozófiája) szemléletén át egészen addig terjedhetnek, hogy milyen hatással van a Hold a szervezetre. **Fontos:** Ez egy teljesen magyar nyelvű esemény. A bemutatkozó kör az elején és a kötetlen beszélgetés a végén is magyarul zajlik. Az olvasás csendje persze mindenkié, így nyugodtan hozhatsz bármilyen nyelvű könyvet. 📍 **Helyszín és Találkozó:** Irány a Margit-sziget! A közös találkozási pontunk a **Zenélő szökőkútnál** lesz. Onnan együtt keresünk egy kényelmes, árnyas-füves helyet a sziget közepén. Keressetek egy könyvekkel felszerelt csapatot, mi leszünk azok! ⏰ **Késel egy picit?** Semmi gond! Ha már nem találsz minket a találkozási ponton, nézd meg az esemény kommentjeit – oda fogjuk kiposztolni a pontos koordinátákat, hogy hol telepedtünk le. **MIt hozz magaddal?** * Az aktuális könyvedet. * Egy plédet vagy pokrócot, amin kényelmesen elhelyezkedsz. * Inni- és rágcsálnivalót ízlés szerint. **A Menetrend:** * **14:30–15:00** – Találkozó és helykeresés. 14:40-ig várunk a megbeszélt ponton, majd együtt keresünk egy zöld területet, ahol megtartjuk a bemutatkozó kört. * **15:00–16:00** – A csendes olvasás órája. * **16:00–17:00** – Választható beszélgetés a könyvekről (magyarul). * **17:00- –** Kötetlen beszélgetés A részvétel ingyenes, de a helyek korlátozottak. Kérlek, mindenképpen jelentkezz az eseményre, ha jönnél! Várunk szeretettel! 📌 [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1271292-budapest-silent-book-club) 📌 [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/people/Budapest-Silent-Book-Club/61567388151835) \*\*\* **✨** **Önkéntes hozzájárulás** A meetup regisztráció költségeire gyűjtünk adományokat, hogy eseményeket az eddig megszokott színvonalon és nyitott emberek között tarthassuk.

**Something exciting for this weekend’s guitar lesson!** The class will start at 18:00 as usual and right after we will have snacks and tea and watch a short film made by BBC called "**The Joy of the Guitar Riff"** (1 hr) showcasing the best guitar and rock riffs ever made and the story behind them. It is a great way to look at the history of rock music and different styles of guitar playing in general. **General description of the class:** Our class is all about beginning stages: playing chords, tabs, holding guitar properly and getting the fingers ready to play. We will have enough time to cover the basics, discuss what we would like to improve and get playing at least one simple song! I also speak Hungarian, so if there is anyone who doesn’t understand English, I will translate on the go. Any newcomers are welcome and I will help you to get started and develop together with others. **What to bring:** * A pen and notebook, so you can take notes as needed. * Guitar (if you don't have one, you can use mine during the class, but definitely you should get a guitar later if you want to learn guitar properly). This event is totally **free of charge**, **but I appreciate donations, which helps me, the organizer, to cover the bills. Recommended donation: 2,500 HUF.** Feel free to **bring your friends**. We have enough space! **I recommend joining our Telegram channel** to get notified about announcements or any cancellations: https://t.me/budapestGuitarClub

Lets Watch the F1 Miami GP this Sunday at Stifler Bar

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
