Dzień otwarty, bez tematu przewodniego
Hakierspejs spotyka się na żywo w siedzibie stowarzyszenia! Zapraszamy wszystkich zainteresowanych naszą aktywnością. Uczestnictwo jest darmowe, rejestracja nie jest obowiązkowa – wystarczy po prostu przyjść. Nie mamy żadnego konkretnego planu: po prostu zbieramy się i haczymy - co komu przyjdzie do głowy.
Zaczynamy o 19:00, ale warto sprawdzić [https://at.hs-ldz.pl](https://at.hs-ldz.pl) – być może ktoś otworzy siedzibę wcześniej. Jeżeli masz problem z wejściem, zadzwoń domofonem przy bramie od ulicy na nr 100, zadzwoń telefonem na 42-203-20-50 albo wejdź na naszego chata (patrz poniżej).

Planszówkowanie w Hakierspejsie
Zapraszamy na kolejne spotkanie planszówkowe!
Mamy parę gier w spejsie, ale zachęcam przynieść również własne gry! Chętnie zagramy w coś nowego. Jest też miejsce na zostawienie gier na jakiś czas w spejsie, żeby nie musieć ich targać tutaj co tydzień.

CTF-y z Hakierspejsem
Spotkania z serii wymiany wiedzy podczas wspólnego rozwiązywania zadań CTF – jest to świetna zabawa pozwalająca równocześnie rozwinąć wiedzę w zakresie cyberbezpieczeństwa. Poziom trudności CTF-owego zadania ustalimy na początku spotkania. Najprawdopodobniej wybierzemy coś z platformy Hack The Box. Spotykamy się **co tydzień w środę o 19:00.**

Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.

Conversation and Coffee @ Belle's Bread Bakery
Hey Everyone!
Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
Drunken Philosophy: Are you really who you think you are? What is the "self"?
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!
