CFAR is gearing up for a workshop this weekend, and they expect to hold at least one rationality training session Wednesday night (June 4) in order to test their pedagogy. Since this overlaps our usual Less Wrong meetup, it’s going to be the main activity of the evening: You’re encouraged to attend the beta-testing session(s?) in the couch room; but if you don’t want to or if there’s too many of us, you can hang out with other Less Wrongers in the CFAR/MIRI common area.
I encourage you to arrive around 7pm at the CFAR office which is at 2030 Addison, 3rd floor, Berkeley, near the Downtown Berkeley BART. If you find yourself locked out, text me at 408 315-8120. Note that the door to the building gets locked at 7pm, so it’s easier if you come a few minutes before then.
I’ll try to update this with more specifics about the test session(s) if I get them.
Update: there will be a session on 5-minute exercises, and one on reference class forecasting. The plan is to end by 10pm, but these beta sessions have not been known for punctuality in the recent past.
