Csendes Könyvklub - FSZEK Ötpacsirta u. 4.
English below
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Tarts egy kis szünetet a hétköznapi rohanásban és gyere el csendes könyvklubunkba a Fővárosi Szabó Ervin Könyvtárba. Hozd magaddal az aktuális könyvedet, merülj el benne egy órácskát, majd oszd meg velünk, amit olvastál.
🗺 Hogyan találsz meg minket:
A tanulótér felújítása miatt az eseményt a FSZEK Ötpacsirta u-i épületében tartjuk (Ötpacsirta u. 4., a Központi Könyvtár bejáratával szembeni narancssárga épület -- [bejárat](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZqQPBwZM2Yy862gr7) az építkezés mellett): az épületbe beérve gyere fel az első emeletre a balra található lépcsőn. A termünk rögtön a lépcsősorral szemben lesz.
💡 Részvételi díj:
Nincs, de a meetup-felület fenntartására adományokat a helyszínen elfogadunk (kp vagy revolut).
🥤 Étel-ital:
Kérünk, zárható üvegben hozz magaddal innivalót, ha az esemény alatt megszomjaznál. Másból inni, valamint a teremben enni nem lehet.
🕑 A menetrend:
17:00–17:30 – Érkezés és bemutakozókör: mit fogsz olvasni?
17:30–18:30 – Csendes olvasás
18:30–19:30 – Választható beszélgetés a könyvekről (magyarul)
Extra:
Az esemény után igény szerinti afterezés a [Prága Kávéház és Sörözőben](https://pragakavezo.hu/) (Baross u 8.), hogy ne csak könyvekről beszélgessünk! Ha csak erre jönnél, írj üzenetet, hogy ne kerüljük el egymást.
Fontos: Ez egy teljesen magyar nyelvű esemény. A bemutatkozó kör az elején és a kötetlen beszélgetés a végén is magyarul zajlik.
Az olvasás csendje persze mindenkié, így nyugodtan hozhatsz bármilyen nyelvű könyvet.
A részvétel ingyenes, de a helyek korlátozottak. Kérlek, mindenképpen jelentkezz az eseményre, ha jönnél!

Please note: This is a Hungarian-language event. The introductions at the beginning and the optional discussion at the end are held in Hungarian.
Alkalom #6 - Az egzisztenciális katasztrófák esélyei és a jövőnk védelme
*“Az emberiség valódi problémája ez: Őskori érzelmeink, középkori intézményeink és istenszerű technológiáink vannak. És ez rémisztően veszélyes, és mindez most közeledik egy krízisponthoz.”*
**Edward O. Wilson.**
*“A kihalás az emberi törekvés eltörlése.”*
**Carl Sagan.**
Az emberiség fejlődése jelentősen megváltoztatta körülöttünk a világot, olyan lehetőségeket nyitva meg, amelyek korábban elképzelhetetlenek voltak. Az ipari forradalom óta az emberiség életszínvonala, várható élettartama és boldogsága drasztikusan megnőtt, miközben számos súlyos probléma – mint a szegénység, a betegségek és a háborúk halálossága, vagy a rasszizmus – jelentősen csökkent. A több lehetőséggel viszont több veszély is jár. Egyre fejlettebb technológiáinkkal lehetőségünk van az emberiség legtöbb nagy problémájának megoldására, ugyanakkor most már mi magunk jelentjük a legnagyobb fenyegetést saját túlélésünkre.
**Nick Bostrom** & **Toby Ord** az egzisztenciális katasztrófát az emberiség hosszú távú potenciáljának tartós, visszafordíthatatlan elvesztéseként definiálják (amely nemcsak az emberiség kihalását foglalja magában, hanem akár a tartós totalitárius disztópiát vagy a helyrehozhatatlan összeomlást is).
Bostrom ökölszabály-javaslata az egzisztenciális katasztrófa kezelésére a „Maxipok" stratégia alkalmazása: maximalizáljuk egy "elfogadható" kimenetel valószínűségét (amely bármely olyan kimenetelt jelent, ami elkerüli az egzisztenciális katasztrófát).
*Valóban ez lenne a legjobb hozzáállás az emberiség számára?*
Ezalkalommal megvizsgáljuk az emberiséget leginkább fenyegető egzisztenciális katasztrófák esélyeit, közelségét, és azt, hogy mit tehetünk ellenük egyéni illetve közösségi szinteken.
**Bevezetés (15 perc)**
Rövid bemutatkozással kezdünk, ahol a résztvevők röviden bemutatják magukat.
**Többek között az alábbi kérdéseket is feltesszük (1 óra 45 perc):**
- A világ jelenlegi állapotában minek kellene a civilizációnk legnagyobb prioritásának lennie?
- Szerinted az emberek általában mekkora esélyt becsülnek egy egzisztenciális katasztrófa bekövetkezésére a következő 50 évben? Hogyan változik ez a szám, ha szakértőket kérdezünk meg helyettük?
- Van-e erkölcsi kötelezettségünk arra, hogy megóvjuk a jövőt a következő generációk számára? A jövő megóvása alapvető érdekünk-e, vagy inkább egy mások javára hozott áldozat részünkről?
- Milyen filantrópiát tartsunk a legfontosabbnak és miért?
- Egy egzisztenciális katasztrófa esetén mely jövőbeli lehetőségek elvesztését fájlalnád a legjobban?
- Hogyan kellene priorizálnunk az alábbi fenyegetési kategóriák kezelését?
1.Természeti katasztrófák (pl. aszteroida-becsapódás)
2.Emberi tevékenység által okozott környezeti katasztrófák (pl. klímaváltozás)
3.Nukleáris fegyverek
4.Biológiai fegyverek
5.Mesterséges szuperintelligencia
6.Ismeretlen ismeretlenek
- Mely érdekcsoportok állhatnak a fenti fenyegetések mögött és hogyan? Hogyan lehetne őket ellenérdekeltté tenni? Megváltoztathatná-e a viselkedésüket a halhatatlanság felajánlása az egyesített erőfeszítés jutalmaként?
- Képes-e egy kevésbé intelligens lény irányítani egy nála intelligensebb lényt?
- Hogyan éreznéd magad, ha egy nálad intelligensebb lény kegyétől függenél, akit nem ismersz és nem tudsz felfogni?
- Miért kap olyan kevés figyelmet és forrást az egzisztenciális kockázatok mérséklése?
*Ajánlott film: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/)
- Ha megváltoztatnánk a gazdasági hátteret, az alapvető változásokat hozna az egzisztenciális veszélyek mérséklésére fordított erőforrásokban is?
- Az egzisztenciális veszélyek csökkentése állami vagy globális hatáskör kellene legyen?
- Mi lehet a legjobb, amit most tehetünk? A maximális hatás érdekében most használni az erőforrásainkat, vagy későbbi esetleges szükséghelyzetre tartalékolni inkább? Más szavakkal: Mennyire élünk döntő pillanatokat most?
**(az esemény magyar nyelvű)**
**RSVP:** A helyszín jelezte felém, hogy az utóbbi időben sajnos nem érkezik elegendő fogyasztás a csoportunktól. Miközben a létszám növekszik, a fogyasztás csökken :(
Ezért bevezetünk egy egyszerű rendszert:
a fogyasztás kiváltja a belépőt. Ha fogyasztasz, nem szükséges hozzájárulni a csoporthoz.
Az alábbiakat tudjátok választani:
- Bruschetta (vegetáriánus, tényleg nagyon finom): 3000 Ft
- Alkoholmentes vörösbor (pohár): 2000 Ft (kedvezményes ár)
- Csomag (bruschetta + bor): 4500 Ft
Ebben az esetben nincs külön belépődíj.
Ha nem fogyasztasz ezek közül, akkor marad a min. 400 Ft hozzájárulás, ajánlottan 1000 Ft.
Köszönöm a megértést!
Meditation (English)
Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest!
The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes)
Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners.
The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation.
* Do I need any special clothing?
No special clothing needed.
* Does the attendance cost anything?
No, the meditation is free.
Men's Circle Of Excellence Gathering X
The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity.
The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life.
Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy.
We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom.
How it works:
• Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces.
• Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles.
• Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement.
• Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships.
Recommendation:
• Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle.
Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.
Reunión de juntaletras.
El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores.
No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.
Pranayama & Meditation 19:00/EN
In this session, we dive into Pranayama, (an ancient practice to discover the flow of energy within) and the power of conscious breathing, which is one of the most important aspects of the original yogic lifestyle. On these Tuesday evenings, we do more than just a breathwork session: this is an opportunity to explore a true harmony between our breath & the mind - body connection.
We begin with a 15-minute chest-opening yoga sequence to gently expand our lungs and prepare for deeper breathing (no need for gym clothes though, just an open mind). Then, we explore different breathing techniques designed for self-awareness, relaxation, and energy flow.
These classes are designed to help you discover how breath can be a tool to balance, energize, and center yourself.
To close, we immerse in a short yet profound "silent concert", a meditative sound journey where 174 Hz sound waves or white noise guide us into a state of deep harmony. Whether emotions are light or heavy, thoughts are clear or clouded, this is a space to simply be and find some peace.

The Story So Far: A WiA Reflection Circle
A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange
At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter.
This is the follow-up.
Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now.
Together, we’ll explore:
• What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in
• What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted
• What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know
If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now.
Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back.
The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate.
What to Expect
• A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup)
• Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak
• Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving
• Optional creative reflection alongside conversation
• A calm, supportive environment
Who This Is For
Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords.
Good to Know
• No preparation required
• If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited
• Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome
• Creative activities are optional

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
