Master Classe — Géopolitique / Avec Bruno Tertrais et Maud Guillaumin
À l’heure où la géopolitique envahit les médias, les réseaux sociaux et nos conversations quotidiennes, comment distinguer l’analyse du réflexe idéologique ?
Comment penser les grands conflits contemporains sans céder aux récits simplificateurs, aux oppositions binaires ou aux explications toutes faites ?
Nous avons le plaisir d’accueillir Bruno Tertrais à l’occasion d’une rencontre autour de son livre *Géopolitique de comptoir*.
À travers cet ouvrage à la fois accessible et rigoureux, Bruno Tertrais déconstruit de nombreuses idées reçues sur l’état du monde : guerre en Ukraine, tensions autour de Taïwan, rôle de l’OTAN, droit international, conflits au Moyen-Orient ou retour de Donald Trump.
La discussion sera menée par Maud Guillaumin, qui échangera avec Bruno Tertrais autour des grands récits géopolitiques contemporains, des mécanismes de désinformation, mais aussi de notre difficulté collective à appréhender la complexité du monde actuel.
Une soirée pour prendre de la distance avec l’actualité immédiate, questionner nos certitudes et redonner toute sa place à la nuance dans le débat public.
**Nos soirées sont toujours suivies d’un moment convivial autour d’une sélection de vins et quelques mignardises.**

L'aventure de la conscience - La mémoire de l'âme
**Inscription obligatoire via ce lien :**
https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/1982077287523?aff=oddtdtcreator
Sans mémoire, la conscience se fragmente.
Explorer cette mémoire n’est pas se tourner vers le passé, mais retrouver des repères pour agir avec justesse aujourd’hui.
Car c’est en se souvenant de ce qui a été essentiel que la conscience peut s’aventurer vers l’avenir.
Une invitation à comprendre la mémoire non comme nostalgie, mais comme force de construction.

* **Tarif** : 2 entrées pour 10€
**Nous retrouver : 12 rue Falguière, 75015 Paris (métro Falguière ou Montparnasse)**

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection?
* And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
Sunday Brunch
Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!
Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about:
"Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
Pizza and Duckpin Bowling!
