You went on that retreat, read the book, committed to meditate daily. And here you are at 3 am, drunkenly staring down a Žižkov doner, wondering what went wrong. You are not alone! Come share your spiritual misadventures. Its a space where you can bring a poem, story, koan etc. Or just come and hang out. All paths and experiences are welcome. We are meeting at Stromovka Park, near Rudolfův rybník (pin in the description). Bring something to sit on, pets are also welcome! We’ll start with an opening circle, short group meditation and then move into sharing and discussion. If you arrive late and we are already meditating please join us quietly so you don't disturb others.

Hello Prague Discoverers and Foodies! After trying Turkish on the last dining meetup, let’s move one country further to the east and try Persian food! An AI overview says that "Persian cuisine is characterized by a balance of delicate flavors, often pairing aromatic herbs, fruits, and nuts with rice and meats. It is rarely hot-spicy, relying instead on saffron, dried limes, turmeric, and cinnamon for a subtle, complex taste. Key elements include slow-cooked stews (khoresh), seasoned rice (polo), and grilled kebabs." It sounds pretty appetizing, doesn't it? The restaurant is located near the "Národní třída" metro B station. WHEN: Thursday 4th June, 7 pm onwards WHERE: [Persia Restaurant](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fyr3EbVWaMFGpfAx5) ADDRESS: Spálená 107/49, 110 00 Nové Město MENU (in pdf): [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gx74A7jZX0ulkf5Dx4JSD-PHyHSqpbqU/view](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gx74A7jZX0ulkf5Dx4JSD-PHyHSqpbqU/view) PRICE: There is no organization fee, just pay your bill after the dinner directly to the restaurant. \*\*\*\*\*\* Please honor your RSVP.

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!

Dodgeball is back again! If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed. We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play. If it rains, the event will be canceled.

A time to make signs, pack swag bags, and have fun together in anticipation for the Pride festivities the week after.
