Hi! I’ve been reading LessWrong and Slate Star Codex for years, but until the today’s events commented pretty much exclusively on SSC. Hope everything will resolve to the better, although personally I’m rather pessimistic.
In any case, I’ve been wondering for a while is there any online places for casual discussions a-la SSC Open Threads, but more closely related to Less Wrong and the Bay Area rationalist community? Threads like this are one such place obviously, but they seem rare and unpopulated. I’ve tried to fins facebook groups, but with very limited success. Any recommendations?
I think various discussions on LessWrong are probably your best bet. A lot of LessWrong discussion is distributed over a large number of posts and platforms, so things end up less centralized than for SSC stuff, which has benefits and drawbacks.
For an experience similar to an SSC Open Thread, I think the LW Open Threads are your best bet, though they are definitely a lot less active than the SSC ones.
