🌎 Culture Shock Therapy | Make Friends: Not Small Talk - Deep talks & Coffee
🇪🇸Español Abajo 👇 **☕️ Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee ☕️** Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals. **🔹 What to expect?** ✔️ Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise). ✔️ Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic. ✔️ Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zone—without feeling like a job interview. If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again). 📍 **Where?** Diletto – Perón 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine). 💰 **How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but they’re worth every cent). **FOLLOW US** **INSTAGRAM: @CULTURE.SHOCKTHERAPY** [https://www.instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] *** **☕️Coffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son Más Fuertes que el Café☕️** Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incómodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. Aquí venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueños, las crisis existenciales y por qué seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas. **🔹 ¿Qué puedes esperar?** ✔️ Preguntas que te harán pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos). ✔️ Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del tráfico. ✔️ Dinámicas interactivas que te sacarán de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo. Si estás listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con café en mano y un toque de humor sarcástico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez). 📍 **¿Dónde?** Diletto – Perón 4217 (porque el café sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeína desperdiciada). 💰 **¿Cuánto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sí, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo). **FOLLOW US** **INSTAGRAM: @CULTURE.SHOCKTHERAPY** [https://www.instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==]

# 🌟 **ENGLISH VERSION** 📍 **Dilettos Pastas & Café – Perón 4217, Buenos Aires** 🗓️ **Every Saturday \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS** 🎟️ **Entry: 5,000 ARS (≈ 5 USD)** *** ### 🌈 **Saturdays just got better.** Let’s face it — meeting new people as an adult is weird, awkward, and sometimes straight-up intimidating. So we created a space where everything feels easy. No pressure. No scripts. No “networking voice.” Just real people, good energy, and conversations that actually go somewhere. Come grab a seat, chat with someone new, flirt if the vibe is right 😉, and enjoy that magic moment when strangers start feeling like friends. No minimum consumption — just bring your vibe, your curiosity, and let the night flow. Expect: ✨ Multilingual chaos ✨ Cultural surprises ✨ Genuine laughs ✨ Unexpected chemistry ✨ And that “how are we just meeting now?” feeling This isn’t networking. This isn’t speed dating. This is **Culture Shock Therapy** — where the city meets the world.🌍⚡ If you’ve been searching for your tribe in Buenos Aires… You’ve officially found it *** *** # 🌟 **VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL** 📍 **Dilettos Pastas & Café – Perón 4217, Buenos Aires** 🗓️ **Todos los sábados \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS** 🎟️ **Entrada: $5.000 (≈ 5 USD)** *** ### 🎉 **Los sábados ahora tienen otro sabor.** Seamos honestos: hacer amigos de adulto es raro, incómodo y a veces un poco intimidante. Por eso creamos un espacio donde todo fluye. Sin presión. Sin caretas. Sin tener que “parecer interesante.” Solo buena vibra, gente auténtica y conversaciones que valen la pena. Vení, sentate, conocé a alguien nuevo, coqueteá si pinta 😉, y disfrutá ese momento en el que los desconocidos se convierten en compañía. No hay consumo obligatorio — traé tu energía, tus ganas de conectar y dejá que la noche haga lo suyo. Vas a encontrar: ✨ Caos lingüístico ✨ Choques culturales divertidos ✨ Risas reales ✨ Conexiones inesperadas ✨ Y ese famoso “¿cómo recién nos estamos conociendo?” No es networking. No es speed dating. Esto es **Culture Shock Therapy** — donde la ciudad se mezcla con el mundo. 🌍⚡ Si estabas buscando tu tribu en Buenos Aires… Acabás de encontrarla

Thank you for all.” - *Sonya* 🗣 "I cannot recommend this event enough to connect with an international crowd. It was fun and light-hearted, but offered depth and humanity. As a digital nomad of 3 years, it's one of the best events and meet up activities I've been to yet!" - *Tom* 🗣 “Great way to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!” - *Matthias* 🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - *Monika* 🗣 “I loved F\*ck the Small Talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - *Brenda* 🗣 "It’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - *Sara* [More Google reviews here 👈](https://www.google.com/maps/place/EPIC+LLAMA/@29.4255256,-41.3746386,3z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x41cb49107d35788f:0xf758abc88e22289c!8m2!3d29.4255256!4d-41.3746613!16s%2Fg%2F11swcv3hw2?entry=ttu) **🤓 FAQ** **• Can I come alone?** Of course, we encourage it :) 99% of people do! **• I signed up but never got an invite.

Philosophy of Friendship: What are the bases of "friendship"?
Philosophy of Friendship: What are the bases of "friendship"?
As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!

A Changed Mind, Columbus, Ohio
A Changed Mind, Columbus, Ohio
Always an overachiever, David Bayer didn't settle for being Number Two in just about anything. Whether a runaway entrepreneurial success as a teenager, the leading online director for Ducati with over $70 million in sales, or as an early mid-life crisis overachiever with at least three wildly self-destructive behavioral addictions, whatever David did, he did it wholeheartedly. Not surprisingly then, when it came to facing his failures and determining his next course of action, David sought health and healing with the same full-strength effort he had previously used to bring about his own ruination. Seeking to learn from the best of the best, David's pursuit of tangible, practical, actual change from the mind and emotions, outward, brought a new passion--that of encouraging others to learn from his mistakes and to be able to strive after and achieve healing and success in their own lives. We are reading *A Changed Mind*, by David Bayer, and can't wait to enjoy the group discussion on **Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 6:30 pm**, at **True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**. Come join us! Get your tickets on [EventBrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-changed-mind-columbus-ohio-tickets-1978437853879)! Check us out on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/events/1390625182655746)!
