Cambridge Less Wrong Group Planning Meetup, Tuesday 14 June 7pm
Visiting the rationality minicamp and hearing about the amazing things NYC’s meetup group is doing, and comparing them to what Cambridge’s group is doing, has made me realize that much more is possible. Let’s meet and discuss future directions—activities, locations, and dates—for the Cambridge group.
Let’s meet at Legal Seafoods near Kendall Square on June 14 at 7pm. The first thing on the agenda is, we need a good room for giving presentations. Several members have projectors they can bring, but a restaurant or coffee shop doesn’t really work. Ideal would be if an MIT student could reserve us a room, but no one has agreed to take on that task yet. I have nonspecific plans to give presentations based on those that were given at the rationality minicamp. We’ll also be copying some of the exercises and worksheets given there. Any other ideas for presentations, activities, and locations are welcome.
If/when you give presentations based on the minicamp ones, can you let me know how it went? I’d like to share what I’ve learned with the DC meetup, and we might as well all learn from one another’s experience re-presenting in order to be maximally effective and avoid duplication of effort.
Is there some way to get this sent out as a notification to everyone in the group on Meetup.com? I just found out about this today, and it’s too short notice for me—I already have plans. There may be others who would be interested, but don’t know about it.
