This Sunday at 12pm (PT), we’re running another session of “lightning talks” by curated LessWrong authors (see here for previous weeks’ transcripts).
For the first hour, we will have a series of lightning talks each lasting about 5 minutes followed by discussion. The talks will be short and focus on presenting one core idea well, rather than rushing through a lot of content.
From 1PM to 2PM, we will hangout in Gather.town. Link will be sent out closer to the event.
We want to give top LessWrong writers an interesting space to discuss their ideas, and have more fruitful collaboration between users. Think of it like a cross between an academic colloquium and some friends chatting by a whiteboard.
If you’re a curated author and interested in giving a 5-min talk at a future event, which will then be transcribed and edited, sign up here.
Sunday September 27, 12:00PM (PT) — talks by Alex Flint, Alex Zhu and more
