**Talks:** *You’ve Heard of the OWASP Top 10 — Now Meet the Other 90%* *by* *Vojtech Snajdr* Most developers know OWASP for the famous Top 10 list, but that’s only a small part of what the organization actually does. OWASP is a huge ecosystem of tools, resources, standards, and experimental projects aimed at helping developers build more secure software. In this talk, we’ll take a tour beyond the Top 10 and explore some of the interesting, practical, and sometimes surprising things OWASP has created, with a focus on ideas and tools you can apply in real projects right away. **Schedule** **18:30** – Doors open **19:00** – Talk “*You’ve Heard of the OWASP top 10 — Now Meet the Other 90%*” 19:45 – Lightning talks: add yours to [https://bit.ly/prpylight](https://bit.ly/prpylight) after 20:00 – Networking **Good to know** * You don’t have to register for this meetup – the actual attendance is much bigger (40–70 Pythonistas) than indicated in the “Going” list here. * **Cash only payments – club doesn’t accept cards.** * Talks at Pyvo are mostly in Czech but it there’s somebody who doesn’t understand Czech talks are switched to English if the speaker is able to do so. * Besides both soft drinks and beer it's possible to eat at the club.

It's easy to get the idea that philosophy is largely an abstract and conceptual endeavor–studying theories that try to explain the universe, morality, or language, and then arguing until we either prove those we disagree with wrong or at least reach a smug sense of clarity. But is that all that philosophy has to offer? For this month's reading, we'll explore this question with **Pierre Hadot**, a French philosopher and historian of philosophy. Hadot was a **professor at the Collège de France**, where he held the **Chair in the History of Hellenistic and Roman Thought**. He specialized in **ancient Greek and Roman philosophy--especially Stoicism, Neoplatonism, and early Christian thought**–as was known for his scholarship on **Marcus Aurelius, Plotinus, and ancient spiritual exercises**. His work has influenced many contemporary philosophers, classicists, and the modern revival of philosophy as a lived practice. \*\*\* Below is a PDF copy of Hadot's essay Philosophy as a Way of Life. If you have trouble accessing it, send the host a message–extra copies are available. Link: https://livingagoodlife.com/fall2021/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Hadot.pdf \*\*\* We’ll have tea and light snacks, but please feel free to bring any drink or snack you’d like to share! This event will be hosted in an apartment with a well-trained dog who will be happy to meet you. If anyone has concerns about dogs, let me know so I can be mindful about keeping her from bothering you. The buzzer is Everett and Mainous—we’re on the 5th floor, apartment 16. Meeting structure: We will start with a brief summary of the key ideas Hadot presents then move to open discussion. Please read the text in advance, make highlights, and note any thoughts or questions you find interesting and compelling.

Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky: Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte? Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…

For our second meeting, we’ll read and discuss the book by Eliezer Yudkowsky, "[If anyone builds it, everyone dies](https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/474267/if-anyone-builds-it-everyone-dies-by-soares-eliezer-yudkowsky-and-nate/9781847928924)". No academic background is required, just a willingness to read, think, and share your thoughts. But please, read the text in advance :) If you want a taste of the main premises, I recommend [this interview with the author](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKN0E3a2Yzs). The session will be discussion-based, lightly moderated, and limited to a small group to allow for real conversation. As [the first session on Claude's Constitution](https://www.meetup.com/ai-vs-philosophy-reading-club/events/313077823/) was very pleasant, I look forward to what the second one brings!

In a world full of opinions, noise, and quick reactions, we often miss spaces for real dialogue — for slowing down, listening, and connecting with one another. This evening is an invitation to do exactly that. Join us for an open and friendly evening (in English & free of charge) dedicated to Violence Within Us. We will brainstorm together in an Open Space–style format, where participants choose topics themselves about what we want to discuss from this broad topic - questions to help you get inspired: What is violence and is it ever justified? Is revolution possible without violence? Violence as disciplinary method, how do you see it? Physical violence X Mental violence - how many kinds of violence are there? Afterwards, participants will form small groups to explore the questions and insights around the topics 18:00 – Doors open 18:15 – Introduction & topic selection 18:40 - We start discussions 19:40 - Closing session (sharing activities) 20:00 - Networking & Connect What to expect: A welcoming space for newcomers and regulars alike Be slightly pushed to socialize Open, participant-led small-group discussions on diverse perspectives No expertise required — everyone’s opinion matters! Safe, respectful, and judgment-free conversations More about sharing and reflecting than debating or convincing No pressure to speak — listening is just as valuable Not a lecture, not a debate club, and definitely not intimidating! Feel free to bring some snacks to share! Friendly dogs are welcome! If you are a regular that appreciate us and can help, or a newcomer who enjoyed the evening, and wants to help, we have recently set a Patreon page where you can support us! https://www.patreon.com/cw/EarthSocietyDialogues

**Life Crafting** refers to the intentional modification of one’s environment, behaviour, and patterns of thinking to better satisfy core psychological needs and align daily life with one's dearest values. To some extent, we all engage in life crafting informally. But structured reflection can dramatically increase clarity and follow-through. In this event, we will explore both: * How do we already apply life crafting in our personal lives? * How can we apply it more systematically? **Suggested Reading (Optional)** To enrich the conversation, participants may wish to read these two short blog posts before the event: • [Life Crafting: Proactive Strategies for Enhancing Well-Being](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happybytes/202311/life-crafting-proactive-strategies-for-enhancing-well-being) • [Life Crafting: A Novel Intervention to Increase Meaning in Life](https://incomparable.info/life-crafting-a-novel-intervention-to-increase-meaning-in-life/) **Structure of the Event** • Arrival & short introductions • Brief presentation (definition of life crafting, research findings and structure of the intervention) • Group dialogue • Practical mini-exercise (values clarification) • Open discussion: benefits, challenges, scepticism, application **“Incomparable Dialogues” is a small, discussion-based group exploring how to live intentionally in an age of distraction, complex social dynamics, and ever-growing professional demands.**

• What we'll do This meet up is for those who are learning English as a second language and want a chance to practice. We will provide a fun and interesting activity to encourage simple English conversation. It may be a game, an interesting topic, or whatever. We promise to keep the evening relaxed and give you a chance to practice your English. • What to bring Just you. • Important to know We are hosted by Do Slova Praha. As a church, we want to help our community in practical ways. We may hand out information to other events that our church does, but do not worry... this is not a religious event. Just come to practice English :) [https://www.doslovapraha.cz/](https://www.doslovapraha.cz/)

ASH is Atheists, Skeptics and Humanists of First Unitarian Universalists of Columbus Ohio TBD Snacks are usually available, and you are welcome to bringing something to share!

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
