Swimming in the Limmat
Hello dear Challengers,
if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015.
Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos.

See you there!

LEELA / LILA das lebensverändernde spirituelle Spiel
"Lila" bedeutet auf Sanskrit "Spiel" und lehrt uns, das Leben spielerisch zu betrachten und jeden Moment anzunehmen. Dieses Konzept, das 1975 durch Harish Johari im Westen bekannt wurde, basiert auf vedischer Philosophie und analysiert die 72 grundlegenden Zustände des Bewusstseins, die den 72 Lila-Spielplätzen entsprechen. Das Lila-Spiel ist ein Werkzeug zur Selbsterkenntnis, das den Spielern hilft, ihren Lebensweg zu reflektieren und gegebenenfalls anzupassen. Durch Würfeln und die Interaktion mit karmischen Kräften bewegen sich die Spieler durch verschiedene Bewusstseinsebenen, bis sie das kosmische Bewusstsein erreichen, um unsere eigenen Muster und Verhaltensweisen zu erkennen und zu verändern. Dieses Werkzeug hilft dir für klare Einsicht in die Wahrheit, unseren eigenen Illusionen und einen Weg zur Transformation.
WIE LÄUFT DAS LILA / LEELA SPIEL AB?
Das Leela-Spiel wird auf einem grossen Feld mit 72 Feldern gespielt, das verschiedene Lebensphasen widerspiegelt. Jedes Feld steht für einen Energietyp, einen Bewusstseinszustand oder eine Entwicklungsstufe, die wir im physischen Leben erleben. Die Herausforderungen im Spiel spiegeln die Prüfungen des realen Lebens wider und ermöglichen es, Erkenntnisse schneller zu gewinnen. Die Teilnehmer werden von spirituellen Führern begleitet, die beim Würfeln und beim Erreichen der relevanten Felder unterstützen. Erfahrene Lila-Leiter leiten das Spiel, stellen präzisierende Fragen und helfen den Spielern bei ihrer inneren Transformation. Das Spiel bietet die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Lebenswege zu erkunden und neue Lösungsansätze zu finden, ohne die Risiken des realen Lebens einzugehen. Während einige Spieler schnell durch das Spiel gehen, hängt der Fortschritt nicht von Wahrscheinlichkeit ab, sondern von der Klarheit der eigenen Absichten. Das Spiel kann still oder mit verbaler Absicht gespielt werden, was zusätzliche Bedeutung und Antworten bringt. Indische Yogis betrachten das Lila-Spiel als einen Dialog mit dem eigenen Geist, der zur Transformation der Persönlichkeit führt. Die Veränderungen im physischen Leben zeigen sich in den folgenden sechs Monaten.
VORBEREITUNG:
Nimm dir eine Frage, die dich aktuell sehr beschäftigt, ein Notizbuch und einen Stift und ein persönliches Objekt bzw. einen Talisman mit. Getränke und Snacks stellen wir zur Verfügung.

Chill, Swim & Plan Our Next Hike! ☀️🏊♂️
Very few people have signed up for my recent meetups. Because of that, I’m going to host a very simple meetup this time: sitting at Oberer Letten and planning our next hiking experience for June.
Bring your swimwear, maybe it will be warm enough to swim. The goal of this meetup is to have an event where we definitely get a few people together, which I can publish, and where everyone has fun. And of course: good conversations and sunshine!

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion
**Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?**
A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad.
My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one.
Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it?
I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction.
Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends.
No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
