**[Cognitive Bias Codex](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Cognitive_bias_codex_en.svg)** Join us for an engaging Socrates Café as we explore the hidden architecture of human thought using the **Cognitive Bias Codex**—a fascinating map of the over 180 mental shortcuts, blind spots, and assumptions our brains rely on every day. Whether we're filtering out information overload, filling in memory gaps, or rushing to make snap decisions, our minds are constantly shaping reality in ways we rarely notice. In the spirit of open, Socratic inquiry, we’ll gather to examine how these cognitive patterns influence our beliefs, judgments, and societal dynamics, tackling the central question: *Do our biases protect us, or do they keep us from seeing the truth?* No background in philosophy or psychology is required—just bring your curiosity, your personal experiences, and a willingness to question how you think!
