Rationalism and Community—LW/​ACX Meetup #195 (Wednesday, July 27th)

Note: we’ll be meeting IRL this week at Nathan’s (@nburn42) place indoors (though possibly outdoors as well).

Reading: Rationalism and Community.

No reading. I’m going to lay out some thoughts about the future direction of LAR and get a big group discussion going.

Some questions to think about going into Wednesday:

1) What are “rationalist values”?

2) How ambitious should a rationalist be? How ambitious do you want to be?

3) Can we raise our emotional intelligence as a group? Can we relate to one another more deeply, authentically?

4) What would it be like if the LA rationalist community grew 2x? 10x?
