Sustainable Development

*This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.* ​ Padel is one of those games you can pick up at any point in your life and immediately enjoy. You don't need to be fit, you don't need a background in racket sports, you just need to show up. The court is small enough that nothing feels out of reach, and the glass walls do half the work for you. ​What makes it special is that you actually talk while you play. Between points, during rallies, after a shot that somehow worked — there's a natural rhythm to padel that makes conversation easy. You get to know your partner in a way that just doesn't happen sitting across a table. ​We had a rally once that went on so long everyone stopped caring who won the point. That's kind of the spirit of the whole thing. ​ **🎯 What to Expect** ​**Two courts, at least 8 players** — we rotate and run mini-tournaments when numbers allow. All levels, always. ​ **Real conversations** — with your partner, between points, after the game. No agenda. ​**Competitive but Chill** — good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄 ​**💸 €15 per person** — pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](paypal.me/alexbing2) Paying upfront keeps the courts full and the group reliable. No last-minute ghosts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet people. ​ **⚠️ Cancellation Policy** Cancel at least 2 days before if you can't make it — someone on the waiting list will be very happy to take your spot. No-shows without notice lose their €15 deposit and get moved to the waiting list for future events.

Viviamo immersi in immagini: idee su chi siamo, su chi dovremmo essere, su come sono gli altri. Queste immagini, spesso inconsapevoli, guidano le nostre relazioni, i nostri giudizi, le nostre reazioni. Ma cosa accade quando proviamo a metterle da parte? Questo incontro vuole avviare un dialogo tra noi che non si limiti allo scambio di opinioni, ma diventi uno strumento di indagine e scoperta, di comprensione profonda e, forse, di trasformazione personale. Partiremo da una domanda centrale: è possibile incontrare davvero l’altro senza il filtro delle nostre immagini mentali? L’incontro non è una lezione né un dibattito, ma un processo partecipativo. Non è necessario avere competenze specifiche: è sufficiente curiosità, apertura mentale, disponibilità a mettersi in gioco e ad osservare se stessi in relazione agli altri. L’obiettivo non è arrivare a conclusioni definitive, ma aprire uno spazio di consapevolezza in cui qualcosa di nuovo possa emergere.

Benvenuti all’Alpha Café — uno spazio per chi vuole crescere, riflettere e trasformare. Ogni settimana ci incontriamo per esplorare insieme temi che intrecciano mente, emozioni e azioni, con l’obiettivo di comprendere meglio noi stessi e contribuire a una società più empatica. Cosa succede all’Alpha Café? - Apriamo con una meditazione di gruppo, per centrarci e connetterci. - Introduciamo il tema della serata con una breve presentazione multimediale. - Apriamo il confronto: una discussione libera e profonda su come il tema tocca la nostra vita quotidiana. - Concludiamo con un momento conviviale, per rilassarci e stare bene insieme. Un’ora per pensare, sentire, condividere. Ti aspettiamo!

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
