La coscienza non è un software — Krishnamurti nell'era dell'AI (It/En spoken)
**Italiano**
Già negli anni '80, quando il computer era appena agli albori, Krishnamurti pose una domanda che oggi risuona con urgenza straordinaria:
***"Se la macchina può fare tutto ciò che l'essere umano sa fare, cosa resterà dell'uomo?"***
In questo secondo incontro del gruppo esploreremo il tema dell'**impatto della tecnologia sull'essere umano** attraverso la lente degli insegnamenti di Krishnamurti — ma anche con apertura ad altre voci e prospettive.
Krishnamurti non era contro la tecnologia in sé. Vedeva però chiaramente un pericolo sottile: che il cervello umano, abituandosi alla velocità, all'efficienza e alla delega alla macchina, diventasse sempre più meccanico, distratto, ottuso — incapace di quel movimento interiore che solo può portare una vera trasformazione.
**Come si svolgerà l'incontro**
L'incontro non è una lezione: è una conversazione aperta tra persone che vogliono **indagare insieme**, senza dare per scontata nessuna risposta. Nello spirito di Krishnamurti, non si tratta di "studiare" un pensiero, ma di osservare direttamente — in noi stessi — quanto la tecnologia stia già plasmando il modo in cui pensiamo, sentiamo e ci relazioniamo.
**Alcune domande** che potremmo esplorare insieme:
* La velocità e la frammentazione digitale stanno rendendo la nostra mente più superficiale?
* Stiamo delegando alla macchina non solo il lavoro, ma anche il significato?
* È possibile usare la tecnologia senza diventare noi stessi più meccanici?
* C'è uno spazio interiore che nessuna macchina può toccare — e lo stiamo coltivando?
Nessuna esperienza precedente richiesta. Portate solo la vostra presenza e la disponibilità a guardare senza giudicare e senza motivazioni.
**Ingresso libero — posti limitati. Confermate la partecipazione tramite Meetup.**
Ci vediamo al Rob De Matt; il locale è a vocazione sociale; la consumazione presso il locale non è obbligatoria ma consigliata in quanto ospita il nostro evento.
**English**
Already in the 1980s, when computers were just in their infancy, Krishnamurti asked a question that today resonates with extraordinary urgency:
***"If the machine can do everything a human being can do, what will be left of man?"***
In this second meeting of the group, we will explore the theme of **technology's impact on human beings** through the lens of Krishnamurti's teachings — but also with openness to other voices and perspectives.
Krishnamurti was not against technology itself. However, he clearly saw a subtle danger: that the human brain, growing accustomed to speed, efficiency, and delegation to the machine, might become increasingly mechanical, distracted, and dull — incapable of that inner movement which alone can bring about true transformation.
**How the Meeting Will Unfold**
The meeting is not a lecture: it is an open conversation among people who want to enquire together, without taking any answer for granted. In the spirit of Krishnamurti, this is not about "studying" a thought, but about observing directly — within ourselves — how much technology is already shaping the way we think, feel, and relate to one another.
**Some questions** we might explore together:
* Are speed and digital fragmentation making our minds more superficial?
* Are we delegating to the machine not only work, but also meaning?
* Is it possible to use technology without becoming more mechanical ourselves?
* Is there an inner space that no machine can touch — and are we nurturing it?
No prior experience required. Bring only your presence and the willingness to look without judging and without agenda.
**Free entry — limited seats. Please confirm your attendance via Meetup.**
See you at Rob De Matt; the venue has a social vocation; purchasing something at the venue is not mandatory but encouraged, as it is hosting our event.

Che fiore sei? 🌸
Maggio, il mese dei fiori… e della rinascita 🌸
Il momento perfetto per rallentare, respirare e ritagliarti uno spazio tutto tuo.
Quale fiore ti rappresenta davvero?
Quello che ami, quello che senti tuo, o quello che oggi parla di te.
In questo workshop ogni partecipante sceglierà il proprio fiore e lo trasformerà in un dipinto ad acquerello.
Non è richiesta alcuna esperienza tecnica: potrai esprimerti liberamente, anche in modo astratto, seguendo il tuo istinto e le tue emozioni.
Se preferisci, potrai lasciarti guidare da stencil con diverse forme floreali.
💧 L’acquerello, con i suoi tempi lenti e i suoi movimenti fluidi, diventa un gesto calmante e rilassante: un modo per lasciare andare il controllo e ritrovare leggerezza, colore dopo colore.
🌼 Giocheremo anche con il linguaggio dei fiori, scoprendo simboli, significati e messaggi nascosti… per connetterci ancora di più a ciò che scegliamo di rappresentare.
Saremo all'esterno del locale nel suo bellissimo giardino che sarà ispirante per la pratica 😊
(in caso di maltempo saremo all'interno).
**Attenzione! Early bird 12€ per iscrizioni entro domenica 17 maggio.**
**☕** **Contributo workshop:** **15€**
comprensivi di:
- mia guida
– carta da acquerello
– acquerelli
– pennelli
– stencil
- acqua al tavolo
- il tuo disegno che porterai a casa con te 🌸
Eventuali ulteriori consumazioni al bar saranno a carico di ciascun partecipante. Quota da poter versare tramite paypal o satispay.
Si prega di confermare la presenza entro venerdì 15 maggio.
Se il workshop sarà rinviato la quota verrà restituita.

✨ Questo non è un corso di pittura, ma uno spazio sicuro di espressione.
Un momento per esplorare la tua idea di femminilità, senza giudizio, senza regole, senza aspettative.
Solo tu, il colore… e il tuo fiore.
🌷 Ti va di scoprire quale sei?
GITUP - AT LAKE MORO, IN THE LOWER CAMONICA VALLEY (BS)
Lake Moro is a natural gem of remarkable beauty.
Nestled between the Sorline and Rodino hills and overlooked by Mount Pora and Mount Altissimo, it sits at just 381 meters above sea level.
From a naturalistic point of view, the influence of the Mediterranean climate of Lake Iseo and the glacial climate of the Adamello makes Lake Moro one of the areas with the highest concentration of biodiversity in Europe. This unique condition also benefits local productions such as cheese, honey, and olive oil.
**PROGRAM**
11:00 – Meeting point at G8 Wine Bar Café, Via Vittorio Veneto 20, 24060 Rogno (BG)
11:15 – Departure for Lake Moro Park
12:30 – Approximate arrival, free time, relaxing on the lakeshore, and lunch (packed lunch or independently arranged at local venues)
15:00 – Approximate return
**Easy-Medium Level** – About 1h30 and 3.5 km each way, 250 m elevation gain. No special equipment or clothing required. Always bring some food and water, trekking shoes, a towel, and a swimsuit for a possible lakeside break.
**Note 1:** Participants must reach the starting point independently (car, bus, train, etc.) or via carpooling by coordinating with other participants in the private Facebook and/or Telegram groups reserved for members (request access once you have your membership card).
**Note 2:** The “I will attend” button on Meetup is not considered valid for us. Meetup is only used to publish the event and gauge interest. Once you become a member, please follow the instructions for the event’s *official* registration.

You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
