## **What IdeaVerse is about** **We meet usually once a month to discuss some of the current challenges as well and perhaps come up with new ideas on how to overcome them. The format of the meeting includes an initial sharing of viewpoints by each participant without judgment, and in the second half we will discuss our ideas and try to find things to learn from each other.** **In this next meeting we'll be discussing...** whether small groups of people can bring about change in a world where power structures are increasingly ignoring the needs of the many. Let's face it, people are losing their trust in both politicians and business leaders to bring about a better future. This distrust leads people to vote less, vote for populists with bold, but empty promises and jump from job to job to milk as much cash from their greedy overlords as they can before retirement. Few brave souls dare to fight but usually do so by blocking roads and spreading doomsday messages that lead most people to disconnect and distract themselves with social media, travelling and other fun but ultimately meaningless activities. We want a world where we feel we belong to a community, where we have job security, where we do work we find meaningful, have clean air and leaders we trust to do what's best for the majority of people. But there's so much work that needs to be done to fight wage stagnation, inflation, rising housing costs, sometimes working 2 jobs, that you think you just can't afford to spend any time doing something about it. Meanwhile, the richest people buy up houses and keep them empty to drive up their prices, or rent them to us - we pay them to keep us homeless basically. Rich people create and destroy jobs in short cycles to maximize profit, making going to college for a job that doesn't exist a futile effort. Rich people who employ you avoid taxes, meaning your pay raise (if you are lucky to get one) just goes back to their pockets. **These are all problems, but in this next meeting we'll be asking and trying to answer a few questions:** 1\. Is it a good strategy to trust that as middle and lower class people we can still make a decent living with so much accumulated wealth privilege? 2\. Can small groups of people make a change fast enough to save the common people from bankruptcy in this current system? 3\. What would be the most effective ways to do that? **Some suggested reading/watching:** * [The BBC hosted Reith Lectures by Rutger Bregman (4x25 minutes)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUJ-qEmQGhM&list=PLoQv-UE-d_Y-Jkj3PzkNw7Zt_kAGNVrGE&index=1) \- a review of some causes for current inequality and political pessimism but also of people who managed to make positive changes\. While all are interesting\, I hope you at least go through the one with "True Radical Programme" in the title \(3rd in the playlist\)\. * [A crash course in making political change](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIAQcvewgTg) (15 minutes) - TED talk on how easy it can be to organize an activist political campaign using social media. **The meeting is free to attend, but please buy a drink or two at our patron's place, to make them happy. They also have food in case you find the meeting too early (see [menu](https://pavilongrebovka.choiceqr.com/section:jidelni-listek/polevky)).**

Je to skutečně revoluce, která nám sebere práci, nebo jen drahý našeptávač, co produkuje bezpečnostní díry? Kde končí marketing a začíná reálná efektivita? Čekejte otevřenou PANELOVOU diskuzi, žádný "AI-washing" a korporátní hatmatilku. Místo generických frází si dáme otázky na tělo, přímo z IDE a code reviews.

In a world full of opinions, noise, and quick reactions, we often miss spaces for real dialogue — for slowing down, listening, and connecting with one another. This evening is an invitation to do exactly that. Join us for an open and friendly evening (in English & free of charge) dedicated to Death As Community, where we will brainstorm together in an Open Space–style format, where participants choose topics themselves, and what we want to discuss from this broad topic - questions to help you get inspired: How do we deal with death? Can death or the thought of it us bring together? A paralysing feeling or a push toward evolution? Afterwards, participants will form small groups to explore the questions like 18:00 – Doors open 18:15 – Introduction & topic selection 18:40 - We start discussions 19:40 - Closing session (sharing activities) 20:00 - Networking & Connect What to expect: A welcoming space for newcomers and regulars alike Be slightly pushed to socialise Open, participant-led small-group discussions on diverse perspectives No expertise required — everyone’s opinion matters! Safe, respectful, and judgment-free conversations More about sharing and reflecting than debating or convincing No pressure to speak — listening is just as valuable Not a lecture, not a debate club, and definitely not intimidating! Feel free to bring some snacks to share! Friendly dogs are welcome! If you are a regular that appreciate us and can help, or a newcomer who enjoyed the evening, and wants to help, we have recently set a patreon page where you can support us! https://www.patreon.com/cw/EarthSocietyDialogues

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 ✊

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

Our monthly PHP meetup. A virtual shindig courtesy of Zoom. Check back here for the details around 6:15 pm

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.
