BILINGÜE CATALÀ/ESPANYOL! DIVENDRES / CAFÈ - Meetup de filosofia: 19:15
**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.**
Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè!
Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu.
Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol.
**ON ENS TROBEM?**
Café de l'Opera (NOMES 3 ABRIL!)
**QUAN ENS TROBEM**
Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45
Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment
**QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM**
Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana
**QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS**
A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic:[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_metho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)d. Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi
**QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS**
Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors
\- Per quins ideals val la pena morir
\- Per què mai estem satisfets
\- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual
\- És necessària la identitat
\- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia
\- Què és la postveritat
\- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\- Què és l'amistat
**QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP**
Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós

**Sobre el libro**
*Enero* es una novela tan asfixiante como el calor que hace en el campo argentino durante ese mes. La protagonista y voz narradora es Nefer, una adolescente de una familia trabajadora rural que queda embarazada producto de una violación. ¿Y si galopa muy fuerte? ¿Y si reza? ¿Y si pide ayuda para deshacerse del «hongo negro» que le crece dentro?
Escrita en 1958, entre sus temas, se encuentran la tensión social y económica entre la ciudad y el campo, la desigualdad de género y de clase, la violencia y la imposibilidad de acceder a un aborto legal, seguro y gratuito. *Enero* subvierte la visión utópica del campo presente en la tradición literaria rural argentina.
**Sobre la autora**
Sara Gallardo fue una escritora y periodista argentina. Escribió seis novelas (*Enero*, 1958; *Pantalones azules*, 1963; *Los galgos, los galgos*, 1968; *Eisejuaz*, 1971; *Historia de los galgos*, 1975; y *La rosa en el viento*, 1979) y una colección de cuentos (*El país del humo*, 1977), además de artículos periodísticos y libros de literatura infantil. Fue ignorada y estuvo excluida del canon hasta muchos años después de su muerte.
The rise and fall of the intellectuals
In this session, we explore the figure of the intellectual, the belletrist who rose from a position of suspicion and ridicule to become, through the written word, a force capable of defending democracy and shaping our collective moral consciousness.
Along the way, we'll consider a curious paradox: how well-written fiction in an imaginary book can profoundly shape our perception of reality, and, with it, our judgment and decisions as individuals and as a society.
Turning from fiction to fact, one historical and canonical case study will help us examine how critical thinking and the courageous intervention of intellectuals helped a society confront its own prejudices, biases, conspiracies, and fallacies, and in doing so, helped save its democracy and uphold its universal values.
We will then turn to the evolution of relentless technology, from the Belle Époque to today, to ask what has changed in the power and influence of the 'man of letters' vis-à-vis the technologies we've developed, and what risks we now face, more than ever, as cracks in our democracies widen through a consciousness increasingly compromised by shady influencers.
This talk is the second in a three-part series examining how new technologies, cultural intermediaries, and information systems shape our beliefs in subtle but consequential ways.
Each talk stands on its own and requires no prior attendance.
This session will be led by Eyal.

CONFERENCIA: LAS FUENTES DEL CONOCIMIENTO
Hola a todos!!
Traemos una conferencia muy interesante dada la época en la que vivimos.
La era de la información actual nos ha llevado a un continuo flujo de noticias y acontecimientos que nos desbordan y colapsan nuestra capacidad de conocer, comprender, aplicar e integrar.
Y al mismo tiempo, un fenómeno que está llevándonos a la confusión es la información falsa ( fake news ) que nos diluvia constantemente haciendo que entremos en disonancias cognitivas y distorsiones de la percepción de la realidad.
En esta conferencia vamos a poner el foco en cómo poder reconocer las fuentes del conocimiento y tener un criterio personal más adecuado para la vida y el día a día.
Partiremos de las antiguas enseñanzas e iremos
viajando a través del tiempo hasta nuestro presente e iremos a debatir sobre las posibilidades de futuro.
Será un viaje divertido y ameno!!
Ponente: Jorge Martínez, KinesiólogoHolístico, Constelador Familiar y PsicoTarot.
Sábado 20 de Junio a las 19h.

We'll discuss a paper about a new kind of foundation model for banking.

I have experience creating and implementing AI solutions for businesses, especially in the real estate and tourism sectors. During this meetup, we’ll talk about how AI is being applied in business right now — from automating processes and improving customer experience to creating travel solutions, digital products, and new business models.
💡 Real examples we’ll discuss:
• How AI can be used in real estate to automate client communication, qualify leads, improve property matching, and create faster follow-up systems
• How AI can be applied in tourism to create smarter travel experiences, including virtual guides, personalized itineraries, and multilingual support
• How automation can reduce costs, save time, and increase efficiency in service-based businesses
💡 What we’ll cover:
• How AI can help you grow your business
• Practical ways to implement AI today
• Opportunities in travel, tech, and digital business
• Networking, collaboration, and idea sharing
This is not a formal event — it’s a casual space to meet other entrepreneurs, build connections, exchange contacts, and explore ways to collaborate and create business opportunities together 🤝

[ENGLISH] SATURDAY / PARK - Philosophy Meetup: 17h - 18:30
PARK LOCATION: WE WILL BE SEATED EXACTLY TO THE LEFT OF THE PARLAMENT BUILDING ON THE GRASSY LAWN.
Here you can see the exact spot on map:
[Link to location](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KnWdQCe9W8ANupwt5)
Do you have a hunger for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue?
If yes, then you will enjoy this event.
We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts.
The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives.
Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others.
A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning.
WHAT TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP?
Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view.
Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups:
What ideals are worth dying for?
Why are we never satisfied?
Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is?
Is identity necessary?
How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others)
What is friendship?
EVERYONE AND ANYONE IS WELCOME
The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world. To learn more, visit https://socratescafe.com.
