**Dagens tema: Demokrati eller expertstyre?** Hade vi fått ett bättre samhälle om vi överlämnade all politisk makt åt experterna? Eller bör vi snararare ha mer direktdemokrati? Ska vem som helst få rösta eller bör man villkora rösträtten genom ett utbildnings- eller kunskapskrav? Häng med Humanisterna på ett spännande samtal där vi utforskar demokratins gränser och omfattning! Värd: Måns Ahlgren

**“Scientific Questions 2026 (!) — Free Will, Quantum Reality, and What We Still Don’t Know”** Mind, Matter, Uncertainty, and the Limits of Explanation Despite all our progress, some of the most fundamental questions remain wide open. As science advances in neuroscience, physics, and AI, old mysteries return in sharper form: Are we truly free? What is reality at the quantum level? And are there limits to what science can ever explain? This isn’t a popular science lecture or a math-heavy session. It’s a philosophical exploration of science at its edges—where evidence runs thin and interpretation matters. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Free will: illusion, emergence, or something real? * Neuroscience and determinism: are “choices” made before we know them? * Quantum interpretations: many worlds, collapse, hidden variables, or something stranger? * Does quantum uncertainty leave room for freedom—or change nothing? * Can science explain consciousness—or just correlate it? * Are there questions science cannot answer in principle? * And finally… how should we live if reality is stranger—and less certain—than we thought? Casual discussion. No physics or neuroscience background required—just curiosity and a tolerance for uncertainty. Whether you lean deterministic, mystical, skeptical, or undecided—you’re not alone. Let’s explore the unanswered questions—and what they mean for how we understand ourselves.

Call to artists via @coupee_collage_collective https://www.instagram.com/coupee_collage_collective?igsh=MTJqNGF6Mmg2Y2NwZA== https://www.instagram.com/p/DVlKbxdjP_i/?igsh=MXRoMjdtMDF6MnFnOQ== The meetup lasts 2 full hours with optional overtime Before starting, you can find our table and leave your things so Lou can grab a drink at the café. Once we are all seated, we introduce ourselves and start cutting and pasting.
 • 1s hour- the first round of collage is called freestyle to help us warm up. No restrictions, start finding images to cut out and paste.
 • 2nd hour - for the second round, someone proposes some simple "trigger instructions".
In the end, we show our collages and appreciate the diversity of styles.
 • After the session, we have the option to extend it a bit to get a drink or some food we can bring or order food so we can hang out a bit more. (Mellemrummet is very relaxing regarding bringing your own food from home or other venues; there is a poke place right in front.) Everyone is free to do fewer or more collages as wished, the triggers and frameworks are only a reference. We dedicate some time to appreciating techniques, shapes, colours, and textures to learn and get inspired by each other. Alongside, we chat and relax.
These sessions are not a class but rather a community gathering. We try to nurture a friendly atmosphere and take care of each other. --
Logistics:
• Bring your tools - paper, scrapbook, scissors, cutter, glue, tape, magazines, books, etc. Have it at your side on the day.
• Buy your favourite drink and introduce yourself to the rest of the people, we are kind of an international mix of all ages.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
