The first London meetup in a while was yesterday. We got a dozen people and lots of lively discussion. We tried playing the Five-minute Debiasing game which was fun but I needed to do more work in advance to make it run smoothly. At about 17:30 we decamped to a nearby pub and got into lots of philosophical discussion. We’re talking about organising the next one on Tuesday May 1. Hello to everyone who came along—how was it for you?
I had a good time and enjoyed the conversation. I appreciate the effort everyone took to come out and be interesting!
Does anyone have any plans to draw up the cognitive biases hierarchy that was suggested? (Maybe a collaborative Google Documents drawing would be useful for this.) Given I’d find use in such a diagram myself, I’m not in a position to start one. At a later stage I could throw together some html and javascript to present the diagram as a web page, possibly with interactivity to reveal more detail on examples, the experiments, counter-heuristics and citations, etc.
Can you be more specific about the kind of preparation that you noticed was necessary? And say a few more words about in what way it was fun? (Looking to copy your answers right into the meetup booklet. :-))

Will do when I get a moment—thanks!
