**[Eng] (Ezt követően magyar nyelven)** Welcome to the MoHu (Monthly Hungarian Professionals Meetup)! This group is for Hungarian professionals living in London/UK who are interested in networking, socializing, and sharing their culture. We aim to organise drinks and other events monthly for Hungarian professionals to connect. **★Join our WhatsApp Group** We will accept only those who are part of this Meetup group. [https://chat.whatsapp.com/CkZsvF99nT3LwRaSVNXPJx](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CkZsvF99nT3LwRaSVNXPJx) **★What to expect on Gump Walk** * We will walk 35-50 km in total at a slow pace. You can join the walk at any point you like. You can walk the full 50 km or just join for 30 minutes. You can join for 1 hour, go home, take a nap, and rejoin in the evening, for example. It is totally up to you — no pressure! * A live location will be shared on the MoHu group chat throughout the day, so you will always know where to join us. * There will be many short 15-minute breaks every 2 hours, where we can have toilet and fuel breaks. Details will be shared on Meetup and the MoHu group chat. * After the walk, we may go to a pub or get some drinks outside (picnic style) if we still have energy. As this will be a spontaneous decision, the location will not be decided or shared in advance. * Route: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9) **★Recommended items to bring** * Electrolytes * Easy carbs/snacks (bananas, protein bars, sandwiches, gels, nuts, flapjacks, etc.) * Portable charger / power bank * Spare T-shirts (You don't want to be too stinky... oh, and it may rain...) * Blister plasters (These can be useful after walking beyond 30 km) * Sunscreen SPF 50+ **★Recommended things to do** * Sip water with electrolytes as frequently as possible during the walk * Stretch your calves briefly at every break point * Install Strava on your phone and record your walk to show off to your friends ([https://www.strava.com/](https://www.strava.com/)) * Monitor hotspots on your feet early (fix friction immediately before it becomes a blister) **[Hun]** Üdvözlünk a MoHu-n (Monthly Hungarian Professionals Meetup)! Ez a csoport Londonban/az Egyesült Királyságban élő magyar szakemberek számára jött létre, akik szeretnének kapcsolatokat építeni, ismerkedni és megosztani a kultúrájukat.

A sétához bármikor csatlakozhatsz. Lehet, hogy végigsétálod az egész 50 km-t, de az is teljesen rendben van, ha csak 30 percre csatlakozol. Akár 1 órát is sétálhatsz, hazamehetsz szundítani egyet, majd este újra csatlakozhatsz. Teljesen rajtad múlik — semmi nyomás! * Az élő helyzetmegosztást egész nap megosztjuk a MoHu csoportchatben, így mindig tudni fogod, hol tudsz csatlakozni hozzánk. * Körülbelül 2 óránként lesznek rövid, 15 perces szünetek, ahol tudunk mosdózni és enni-inni egyet. A részleteket a Meetupon és a MoHu csoportchatben osztjuk meg. * A séta után lehet, hogy elmegyünk egy pubba vagy iszunk valamit a szabadban (piknik stílusban), ha még marad energiánk. Mivel ez spontán döntés lesz, a helyszín nem lesz előre eldöntve vagy megosztva. * Útvonal: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9) **★ Ajánlott dolgok, amiket érdemes hozni** * Elektrolit italok vagy tabletták * Könnyen fogyasztható szénhidrátok/snackek (banán, protein szelet, szendvics, gélek, magvak, flapjack stb.) * Pólócsere (Nem akarsz túl büdös lenni… ja, és akár eshet is…) * Hólyagtapasz (30 km felett nagyon hasznos lehet) * Blister plasters (These can be useful after walking beyond 30 km) * 50+ SPF fényvédő **★ Ajánlott dolgok a séta során** * Kortyolgass rendszeresen elektrolitos vizet séta közben * Minden szünetnél nyújtsd meg röviden a vádlidat * Telepítsd a Stravát a telefonodra, és rögzítsd a sétát, hogy dicsekedhess a barátaidnak ([https://www.strava.com/](https://www.strava.com/)) * Figyeld korán a dörzsölődő pontokat a lábadon (azonnal kezeld a súrlódást, mielőtt hólyag lesz belőle)

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection? * And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.

Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting.

But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
