In this series of meetings, we'll come together to read and discuss some of the **greatest texts and essays from the fields of** **Philosophy, Politics, and Economics**: from the Nobel laureates, famous philosophers, both ancient and modern, and influential political theorists. No academic background is required! Anyone is welcome – as long as you've read the text in advance ;) All texts will be short (10-20 pages max) and easy to find upon a quick Google search. I will also make sure to share the direct links in advance. \~\~\~ This time we will read ‘The Crisis of Our Time’, a short essay / lecture by Leo Strauss, originally delivered in the early 1940s. Leo Strauss (1899–1973) was a German-Jewish political philosopher best known for his critique of modern relativism and his defense of classical political philosophy. Strauss taught for many years at the University of Chicago, where he became an influential teacher and mentor to generations of students. His major works include *Persecution and the Art of Writing*, *Natural Right and History*, and *What Is Political Philosophy?* In the essay, Strauss postulates that the modern West is undergoing **a crisis of meaning and legitimacy** caused by the abandonment of classical natural right and the **rise of historicism, relativism, and positivism**. According to Strauss, modern social science claims to be value-neutral and purely scientific, but in doing so it cannot justify moral or political principles. In turn, historicism (the idea that all values and truths are products of their historical context) undermines the possibility of objective standards of justice or the good life. As a result, modern societies lose the ability to defend liberal democracy on rational grounds, leaving them vulnerable to **nihilism, authoritarianism, or ideological fanaticism.** Strauss contrasts this with classical political philosophy (Plato, Aristotle), which openly asked normative questions about justice, virtue, and the best regime. Join us to discuss! Link: https://archive.org/details/leo-strauss-the-crisis-of-our-time-1963/ \~\~\~ **Location:** we will meet in cafes, parks, or one another's living rooms throughout the summer. Together, we will discuss the great theories and ideas; think, debate, contemplate, deliberate, and by our joint effort we will aim to get one step closer towards understanding of this world. This time we’ll meet at Justin’s home (Blahníkova 646/16). The names on the buzzer are “McCandless, Everett, Mainous,” go up to the 5th floor and if the button in the elevator gives you trouble then just ride it up to the 4th floor. **Meeting structure:** each session will begin with a brief summary of the key ideas from the reading, followed by open discussion. Please read the text in advance, make highlights, and write down any thoughts or questions that you find especially interesting and compelling. *Knowledge Will Break the Chains of Slavery* Veritas Vos Liberabit ✊

Working with your Inner Critic is a 4-hour hands-on workshop to help you feel a greater sense of ease in all that you do. If you relate to: -Feeling behind where you 'should' be -Procrastinating, and then last minute panicking -Hiding your cracks and hoping no one sees them Using proven exercises from psychotherapies like gestalt, IFS, and DBT, you'll: -Understand the invisible pattern behind your self-criticism - and learn to interrupt it at the start -Work with your inner voice so it stops criticizing you and starts supporting you -Discover and transform your hidden beliefs around what you "should" be -Learn proven stress regulation methods to be more authentic even in stressful situations This workshop is led by William Gan, an emotional resiliency coach who has personal experience with self-pressure and burnout. Before becoming a coach, he worked at BCG and Reforge, management consulting and tech firms where expectations were high, feedback was constant, and feeling "not enough" was common. That internal pressure eventually pushed him to train in IFS, Gestalt psychotherapy, and mindfulness, which gave him practical tools for a steadier inner world and a deeper sense of ease and happiness. 17.01, 09.30-13.30 750 CZK register here: https://vev.co/atma-community-space-praha

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA
