Discussion article for the meetup : London rationalish meetup − 2016-03-06

WHEN: 06 March 2016 02:00:00PM (+0000)

WHERE: Shakespeare’s Head, 64-68 Kingsway, London WC2B 6AH

Did you know that in 2016, it’s possible to set up a website with server, domain name and discussion forum, from your phone, in the middle of a meetup? Last time, we discovered that it is! Coincidentally, we now have a discussion forum at rationalish.org.

This meetup will be social discussion in a pub, with no set topic. If there’s a topic you want to talk about, feel free to bring it.

The pub is the Shakespeare’s Head in Holborn. There will be some way to identify us.

The event on facebook is visible even if you don’t have a facebook account. Any last-minute updates will go there.


We’re a fortnightly London-based meetup for members of the rationalist diaspora. The diaspora includes, but is not limited to, LessWrong, Slate Star Codex, rationalist tumblrsphere, and parts of the Effective Altruism movement.

You don’t have to identify as a rationalist to attend: basically, if you think we seem like interesting people you’d like to hang out with, welcome! You are invited. You do not need to think you are clever enough, or interesting enough, or similar enough to the rest of us, to attend. You are invited.

People start showing up around two, and there are almost always people around until after six, but feel free to come and go at whatever time.
