**Italiano** **Viviamo circondati da scelte**: cosa fare, chi essere, che posizione prendere su tutto. Eppure, **più alternative abbiamo, più spesso restiamo bloccati nell’indecisione**, nel rimuginio, nell\*’overthinking\*. In questo scenario, **la proposta di Jiddu Krishnamurti suona quasi scandalosa: una *consapevolezza senza scelta***, capace di vedere ciò che è, prima di ogni decisione, tecnica o metodo. In questo incontro **useremo il pensiero di Krishnamurti come filo rosso** per esplorare insieme cosa potrebbe significare, oggi **“vedere ciò che è” senza giudicare, senza selezionare, senza cercare di aggiustare tutto subito**. Partiremo da alcuni suoi passaggi su consapevolezza, osservatore/osservato, fine del conflitto interiore, ascoltandoli o leggendoli insieme e lasciando spazio al dialogo. Accanto alla voce di Krishnamurti, richiameremo anche **altri contributi su consapevolezza**: dalla mindfulness alla psicologia contemporanea, dalla consapevolezza emotiva e corporea alla ricerca di senso più esistenziale. Questo ci aiuterà a distinguere tra consapevolezza come “tecnica” e consapevolezza come modo di vedere e vivere. **L’incontro alternerà:** * una breve introduzione per chiarire cosa si intende per “consapevolezza senza scelta”; * ascolto/lettura di brani scelti; * qualche semplice esperienza guidata di osservazione (del corpo, dei pensieri, delle emozioni); * momenti di condivisione e dialogo aperto, in cui ciascuno potrà portare la propria esperienza con l’indecisione, il controllo, il bisogno di scegliere il “giusto”. **Alcune domande** che guideranno il nostro dialogo: * Cosa intendiamo, ciascuno di noi, quando diciamo “siamo consapevoli”? * In quali momenti della vita ci accorgiamo di essere bloccati dall’indecisione o dal rimuginio? * Che differenza c’è, per la nostra esperienza, tra “controllare” e “osservare”? * Cosa potrebbe voler dire, concretamente, fare un passo verso una “consapevolezza senza scelta” nella vita di tutti i giorni? Non serve conoscere già Krishnamurti, né avere esperienza di meditazione: basta curiosità e la disponibilità a guardare un po’ più da vicino il modo in cui normalmente ci osserviamo, giudichiamo, scegliamo. Nessuna esperienza precedente richiesta. Portate solo la vostra presenza e la disponibilità ad osservare senza giudicare e senza motivazioni. **Ingresso libero — posti limitati**. Confermate la partecipazione tramite Meetup. Ci vediamo il 18 giugno 2026 alle h. 18:30 da Otto; la consumazione presso il locale non è obbligatoria ma consigliata in quanto ospita il nostro evento. **English** **We live surrounded by choices**: what to do, who to be, what stance to take on almost everything. And yet, **the more options we have, the more often we get stuck in indecision**, in rumination, in overthinking. In this scenario\*\*, Jiddu Krishnamurti’s proposal sounds almost shocking: a *choiceless awareness*\*\*, the capacity to see what is, before any decision, technique, or method. In this meeting we will use **Krishnamurti’s thought as a guiding thread** to explore together what it might mean, today, **to “see what is” without judging, without selecting, without trying to fix everything right away**. We will start from some of his key passages on awareness, the observer and the observed, and the ending of inner conflict, listening to or reading them together and leaving room for dialogue. Alongside Krishnamurti’s voice, we will also bring in **other perspectives on awareness**: from mindfulness to contemporary psychology, from emotional and bodily awareness to a more existential search for meaning. This will help us distinguish between awareness as a “technique” and awareness as a way of seeing and living. **The meeting will alternate:** * a brief introduction to clarify what is meant by “choiceless awareness” * listening to/reading selected passages * some simple guided exercises of observation (of the body, thoughts, emotions) * moments of sharing and open dialogue, where everyone can bring their own experience with indecision, control, and the need to make the “right” choice **Some questions** that will guide our dialogue: * What do we each mean when we say “we are aware”? * In which moments of life do we notice we are stuck in indecision or rumination? * What is, in our experience, the difference between “controlling” and “observing”? * What could it concretely mean to take a step toward “choiceless awareness” in everyday life? You don’t need to know Krishnamurti already, nor have any experience with meditation: all that’s needed is curiosity and a willingness to look a little more closely at the way we usually observe, judge, and choose. No previous experience required. Just bring your presence and your willingness to observe without judging and without ulterior motives. **Free entry — limited seats**. Please confirm your participation through Meetup. See you at Otto on the 18th June 2026 at 18:30; buying a drink or snack at the venue is not mandatory but recommended, as the place is kindly hosting our event.

Hello everybody, I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing). Guests are required to buy their first drinks upon entry. I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can. I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with. When you get there ask for **Riccardo**. Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963** During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch. Looking forward to a great time together!

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.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
