Hi!
My name’s Logan Chipkin. I’m hosting the third Philly Rat Fest the weekend of September 27th—September 29th, 2024.
Join us for workshops, talks, good food, new friends, old friends, philosophizing, and laughing.
Last time, we had a very successful event in Philadelphia. People flew from all across the world to discuss, debate, and learn about some of the deepest ideas Rats of all stripes care about.
While online communities serve many purposes, there’s nothing quite like meeting up in person to fortify a community.
To be clear, Rats of all stripes are welcome to join! Last time, we had plenty of rationalists, crit rats, post rats, and Bayesians.
Honorary guest speakers:
1. Vivek Patel, advocate for peaceful parenting
2. Allison Duettmann, CEO of Foresight Institute and Founder of Existential Hope
3. Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard and Principles of Economics
4 . TBD (exciting guest but can’t confirm just yet!)
Workshops:
Carlos De la Guardia—What makes human minds uniquely powerful?
TBD
TBD
Rat Fest is a kid-friendly event! We’re offering discounted tickets for children under 18.

When I’m looking at the date, it says 10th November 2023, but underneath it says 27th September. Seems like a bug
Hmm, that is bad UX on our side. The 10th of November 2023 thing refers to when the post was posted. IMO for events it should somehow be deemphasized (though it is important information I want to preserve)
Makes sense! Someone yesterday mistakenly read it as the date of the event, so this confusion seems to happen.
I just made a PR that removes the published date from the top and shows “Posted at: <date>” at the bottom. Will probably go live today.
Thanks, Ben. By the way, is there a way to ‘re-up’ my post, since the event is only a few weeks away?
Hi All,
Tickets are still available for Rat Fest 2024! There are now day passes for those who prefer to come for only one day, rather than for the entire weekend.
