There’s this upcoming meetup called Baloney Detection Workshop in Mountain View. It will probably be fairly basic compared to what’s covered on LW, but I might go just for fun. Anyone else thinking of going? They’re looking for people to give 10-minute talks on related subjects — maybe someone (possibly me, possibly not) could do one that introduces some of LW’s matarial, something that can build off the usual skepticism repertoire and perhaps lead some people to LW. Maybe something on motivated/undiscriminating skepticism, really applying the techniques of critical thinking to your own beliefs, how to actually change your mind, etc.? Any other ideas?
