“the rationality community would be well served by supplementing directly organized LW meetups with piggybacking off TM meetings:”.
What’s your initial reaction to the idea of a lesswrong toastmasters group?
Maybe the group would begin with regular toastmasters but also try to implement new ideas. Like for example, I imagine that in addition to public speaking a rationalist might want to work on their ability to communicate complicated stuff off the cuff. So for example there would be some interface. You would respond. The group would point out things you should optimize for in the future.
There might be a focus on things like
>quantifying results
>coming up with new techniques
>falsifying and recursively optimizing those techniques

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
