Meet inside The Shops at Waterloo Town Square—we will congregate in the seating area next to the Valu-Mart with the trees sticking out in the middle of the benches at 7pm for 15 minutes, and then head over to my nearby apartment’s amenity room. If you’ve been around a few times, feel free to meet up at my apartment front door for 7:30 instead. (There is free city parking at Bridgeport and Regina, 22 Bridgeport Rd E.)
Readings
This week, KWR will do a concurrent reading of MeltingAsphalt and Robin Hanson’s The Elephant in the Brain, similar to what we did with Legal Systems Very Different From Ours (i.e. people pick different chapters to read and then we’ll share our findings with the group).

The outline of the book for the introduction and Part 1: https://www.elephantinthebrain.com/outline.html
Whichever chapter you call dibs on through the google sheet (password the same as the one for the Discord invite).
Ways to access the book will be posted in the Discord.
Discussion Format
In the first half of the meetup, we’ll have everyone briefly summarize the chapter they read to the rest of the group.
After that we’ll transition to more general discussion.
