Contact: Just use the FB/meetup page
Hey gang—we’re doing another one of our increasingly complicatedly-named meetups. We’re sticking with the museum at the slightly earlier time
If you’d like to attend, we’re asking you to read the last 5 chapters in part C of the first book of The Sequences before you attend, so that we can discuss our thoughts on them at the Cafe. It’s almost exactly like a book club.
The chapters we want you to read are: Occam’s Razor Your Strength as a Rationalist Absence of Evidence Is Evidence of Absence Conservation of Expected Evidence Hindsight Devalues Science
If you don’t know what the Sequences are, think of them like a collection of blog posts which together form a pretty reliable backbone for improving your thinking and being more rational.
You can also find it for free as an audiobook podcast wherever you get podcasts from (Try searching for “Rationality: From AI to Zombies”)
We strongly recommend reading all of the chapters.
Most likely we will finish talking about The Sequences and end up talking about other topics; Less Wrong, Current Affairs, Slate Star Codex, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Worm, Free Will, Efficiency, Podcasts
And we also are hosting a Study Hall/Pomodoro every Saturday at 11:00 at Bristol Central Library
Also the 17th is Random Act of Kindness day. How about that.
