What actually makes us happy? What’s AI doing to our brains, our jobs, and our sense of meaning? And what kind of future are we heading into if we all end up besties (or enemies?) with an algorithm?
Three hours, three topics, endless ways to look at things.
Come for the conversation, stay for the crowd.
“Who Even A.m I.?” – Lets Talk About It!
What actually makes us happy? What’s AI doing to our brains, our jobs, and our sense of meaning? And what kind of future are we heading into if we all end up besties (or enemies?) with an algorithm?
Three hours, three topics, endless ways to look at things.
Come for the conversation, stay for the crowd.
We invite you...
...to let your mind drift through some big questions. Or don’t. You’re just as welcome to relax, sip your coffee and do absolutely nothing. We’re not here to tell you what to think. Jump into the conversation, open your mind (or don’t), and see what happens when AI and humanity clash, connect or just awkwardly sit next to each other. After insights? We’ve got them. Want to chat about work, life or what’s next? The right people will be there. Not really after anything? F*ck it, that’s fine too. Just come and enjoy.
No fluffy stuff!
This isn’t some deep, soul-searching session where everyone speaks in hushed tones and strokes their chin. We’ll chat about AI, happiness and the future — but with banter, curiosity, and zero pressure to sound smart. No spiritual fluff, no serious faces. It’s a Saturday, not a seminar. Come for the laughs, the questions, and maybe even leave with a surprising new thought or two.

Speak Your Mind!
Tired of small talk about the weather? Same. Let’s get into the stuff that actually matters — like what makes us happy, whether AI’s about to mess that up, and what the future might look like when we're all sharing space with clever machines. No awkward vibes, no deep-end pressure — just proper conversations without the cringe.Forget the dry theory — this is all about real talk, fresh perspectives, and space to say what’s actually on your mind. Whether you’re here to dive deep, stir the pot, or just sip your coffee and eavesdrop, you’re in the right place. Let your brain off the leash — you might just learn something about yourself without even trying.

About Inner Confidence
Inner Confidence is here to help you back yourself — so you can actually enjoy a night out or chill with your mates, instead of stressing about uni, your looks, or whatever else your brain’s currently spiralling over.
You’re a total badass in your own way. By helping everyone tap into their inner confidence and be more open, we’re aiming for a world where talking about your feelings isn’t weird — it’s just normal. A society with less judgement, fewer boxes, and way more honesty.
Because honestly — why would a bunch of grey old blokes have a clue how you feel? At our events, we create a safe, open space where you can share what’s on your mind, work through it, and maybe even learn something from it. Every Inner Confidence event comes with one rule: come for the vibes, stay for the insight.

Filosofische Druktemaker
Tim’s a master at asking the questions you’d never dare to ask yourself. In his philosophy sessions, he knows exactly how to spark the kind of conversation that challenges you, gets under your skin, and actually makes you think. No airy-fairy nonsense — just grounded, brain-tingling philosophy. With a fresh perspective, creative twists, and loads of experience, he helps people see the world (and themselves) in a whole new way.

Big questions, tiny doubts, and the weird joy of overthinking things together. Philosophy, for me, isn’t some dusty bookshelf or a bloke in a turtleneck quoting dead Greeks — it’s a proper conversation that helps you see things differently. Yourself, others, the world (and yeah, even AI). At this event, I’ll be the one throwing out the awkward questions, stirring the pot, and happily getting lost in thought with you. Fancy a bit of shared brain-scratching? No need to be an expert — just be curious.
Big questions. Real conversations.
Here’s what we’re getting up to.
What even counts as a “good day” these days? Is happiness something you create, discover, or just pick up with a decent coffee machine and a four-day workweek? In this first part, we’re diving into the wonderfully messy business of being human. What actually makes you feel good? How much do work, free time and money mess with your vibe? No right answers here — just juicy questions and a good excuse to overthink them together.
AI is basically everywhere — from the filter that smooths your skin to the algorithm deciding what existential crisis you scroll past at breakfast. But what’s it actually doing to our brains, our moods, and our ability to function like semi-decent humans? In this round, we’re opening the can of digital worms: deepfakes, brain-fog, job panic, and the sacred art of doomscrolling. What should AI be allowed to do? What shouldn’t it touch? And what should we probably stop handing over just because we’re a bit lazy? Expect bold opinions, painfully familiar moments, and the kind of awkward truths that make you laugh, then think.
What if AI ends up doing everything better, faster — and without needing a coffee break? What’s left for us lot? And what does “purpose” even mean in a future full of clever machines and zero chill? In this final hour, we’re rolling up our sleeves and having a good old think about tomorrow’s world. Do we stay the creators, or get comfy in the backseat? Do we become wiser, weirder, or just wonderfully confused? No crystal balls, no tech bros — just big ideas, wild guesses, and your take on whatever’s coming next.
Here’s what you’re in for:
- Thought-provoking chats about AI, happiness, and what it all actually means.
- Nosey minds & laid-back vibes
- Fresh perspectives, no fluff, no faff.
- Questions that haunt you... in a fun way.
- Philosophy without the yawns.

Perfect — then you’re in exactly the right place. This event’s not about having ready-made opinions or sounding clever. It’s about thinking out loud, changing your mind, and getting a bit lost together (in a good way). No prior knowledge needed — just bring some curiosity and maybe a flat white.
Get stuck in if you want, or just kick back and enjoy the brainwaves. No pressure, no forced group hugs, and absolutely zero “let’s go round in a circle” moments. It’s your afternoon — you do you. Eavesdropping totally counts as deep thinking.
Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. Worst case? You get a decent coffee and avoid small talk for a few hours. Best case? You leave with ideas that ambush you in the shower and conversations that actually meant something. Either way, it beats doomscrolling.
