### [Register here](https://luma.com/bnpi08z4)​ ### You’ve got OpenClaw running, but does it actually remember you? ​Most agents start from scratch every single time. It’s like 50 First Dates, but for your terminal. On April 23, we change that, we’ll fix the memory gap. ​This is a high-energy, "Setup & Build" session designed for active builders to get mem9 installed, running, and wired into their stack. No death by PowerPoint. Just collective installation, real-time building, and sharing the progress live. ### ​What we’re doing ​Two hours. One goal. Your AI agent walks away with a persistent memory that lasts across sessions, machines, and restarts. * 🧠 Give it a Brain — Zero to working mem9 activation. No more starting from scratch every time you reboot. * ​🚀 Build & Share — Document your setup live. We’re aiming for 30+ public builds shared with the community. * ​🍕 Fuel Up — If you’re joining us in person, we’ve got the free flow of coffee and snacks covered. ### ​Who this is for ​OpenClaw users, indie hackers, and devs who have "add memory" on their to-do list for weeks. Whether you are at GoWork or joining the stream from home, if you're ready to build, you're invited. ### ​The Rewards ​We’re not just building for fun; we’re building for glory (and prizes): * 💰 $200 Total Prize — Cash for the top builds. * ☁️ Free 5GB Cloud Storage — For every participant. * 👕 Exclusive Swag — Limited edition builder gear. * 📣 Builder Fame — Recognition on Discord, our Blog, and YouTube. ### Event Details: * ​📅 Date: Thursday, April 23, 2026 * ​🕕 Time: 4 - 7 PM * ​📍 Location: Hybrid — GoWork Treasury Tower and Online via Streamyard ​🎒 What to prep: Laptop, your existing AI agent setup, and your builder spirit ### [Register here](https://luma.com/bnpi08z4)

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.

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

**Optional movie afterwards**
