***What is conversation for, and what makes it good or bad?*** *Is it our main tool for creating meaning? Or is it just social performance?* In this session of **Marginal Thoughts**, we go full meta by talking about talking. Before indulging in this mild crisis of purpose, we'll read these three short pieces: * An essay by Ursula K. Le Guin: ["Telling Is Listening"](https://www.nonknowledge.org/media/pages/hfbksose21/3874102952-1621341422/ursula-k-le-guin.pdf) (\~50 min read) * A poem by Billy Collins: ["Table Talk"](http://archive.today/nx96c) (\~2 min) * A short story by Franz Kafka: ["An Imperial Message"](https://www.kafka-online.info/an-imperial-message.html) (\~2 min) In these, Le Guin compares conversation to amoeba intimacy, Collins survives a dinner TED talk, and Kafka obsesses over the second checkmark. **How to prepare** Please read all the materials in advance. As you do, try to identify at least one point of curiosity, confusion, or uncertainty - these will be natural starting points for our discussion. **What to expect** This is an in-person, conversational meetup in English. The goal isn't to debate, lecture, or "confess" - it’s to explore ideas and leave with better questions than we arrived with. **Optional stuff for the extra curious** Le Guin's essay is from the collection ["The Wave in The Mind"](https://www.ursulakleguin.com/the-wave-in-the-mind). And this time the honorable mention goes to Simon & Garfunkel's ["The Dangling Conversation"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jAQPMKXj6Y).

**KI, Kognition und Burnout: Was tun, wenn Effizienz den Flow killt?** KI impliziert die Hoffnung, sich - von langweiligen Tätigkeiten befreit - endlich kreativen und spannenden Dingen widmen zu können. Jedoch häufen sich Sorgen um mögliche Nebenwirkungen: Begriffe wie **KI Burnout**, **KI Fatigue** und **KI Workslop** sprießen nur so aus Studien und Social Media Posts. In diesem Talk geht es um Zusammenhänge zwischen Burnout, Cognitive Load, Flow und den Einsatz von KI Tools - und um mögliche Lösungsansätze. **Sabine Ballata** ist Co-Founderin von Kokoro ([www.bekokoro.com](http://www.bekokoro.com/)), wo sie Produktdesign und Strategie leitet. Über ihre berufliche Tätigkeit hinaus engagiert sie sich aktiv in der Design-Community und leitet seit Oktober 2018 den UX Vienna Book Club, um den Wissensaustausch unter UX-Praktiker:innen zu fördern. **Event Sponsor:** Communardo Gmbh

Du sprichst schon gut Deutsch (B2–C1), hast aber wenig Gelegenheit, wirklich zu reden? Dann bist du hier genau richtig! Wir treffen uns in kleinen Gruppen in gemütlichen Wiener Cafés und plaudern ganz entspannt über alles Mögliche, was uns gerade beschäftigt, oder ein vorher vereinbartes Thema. Ziel: mehr sprechen, nette Leute kennenlernen und einfach eine gute Zeit haben. Auch Muttersprachler:innen sind herzlich willkommen, wenn sie Lust haben, neue Leute kennenzulernen und sich auszutauschen. Die kleine Gruppengröße ist eine bewusste Entscheidung: so können wir uns gut hören, leichter ins Gespräch kommen und die Treffen bleiben übersichtlich und angenehm zu organisieren. 👉 **Ein paar Infos, damit alles gut läuft:** – Bitte verwende deinen echten Vornamen und ein Profilfoto, damit wir uns beim Treffen leichter finden. – Melde dich nur an, wenn du wirklich kommen kannst. – Falls doch etwas dazwischenkommt, ist das kein Problem, aber bitte sag rechtzeitig ab, damit jemand anderes nachrücken kann. – Die **genaue Location** wird am Vorabend des Treffens an die bestätigten Teilnehmer:innen kommuniziert und in den Kommentaren sichtbar sein. – Wer ohne Absage nicht erscheint, wird leider aus der Gruppe entfernt. Wir möchten die Treffen zuverlässig und angenehm für alle halten. Freue mich auf entspannte Gespräche und eine nette, motivierte Runde! 😊

A Branch of the **Social Book Club** focusing on International Cinema. I try to host 2 film nights a month where I will find films based on the taste profile of the audience. We the Lovely Folks of the **Saturday Film Club, are back for the 23rd Edition** this Saturday! 🎬🌿🕊️ ☀️ We start at **18:30** hrs. Film chosen for this week is: 🎥 **The Metamorphosis of Birds** A quiet, poetic Portuguese film about family, memory, and the passage of time. Blending narration, stillness, and beautiful imagery, it tells the story of a father, a mother, and their children — unfolding like a dream or a remembered story. Tender, reflective, and deeply meditative. IMDb: 7.2/10 – Runtime: 1h 41m. 🍽️ Post Meetup Food at China Zentrum Stiegengasse! 😁😁 If you just joined, please fill up this survey so we can better tailor the films we show. [https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9](https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9) The event takes place at the Social Welfare organization called **MUT**. It is an organisation that works on social issues such as Emergency & Homeless Assistance, Food Rescue and Environment Protection. MUT is a non profit organization that provides us with the space to host the event. A small donation towards their cause helps them a lot.

Hey Badminton Enthusiasts! **This meet-up is only for intermediate players and up!** Everyone is welcome to join our large weekly events, test their skills and have some fun together! However, ***this event is for the people that want to push their skill forward and would like to play during the week as well.*** The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€: * If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available * you can also pay via card on the spot We are meeting at about 18.55 pm near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.

Without further ado - let's play some (intermediate) badminton and have fun together!

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
