Don’t assume we spend all our time talking about the deep, ultimate truths of the universe. Last time, we spend far more time talking about our lives and social rationality than (in the one example I remember occurring) the computability of the universe. If you want to socialize, there’s no real pressure to be thinking “DEEP THOUGHTS”. People (around here) tend to be biased against changing their routines and trying new things, so you should try to correct in the other direction. I promise you will enjoy yourself.
Sounds good. I don’t come around this blog very often I admit, but I’m nearby and need to recapture the feeling of being in college with some other smart folks to talk to.
Well, I was going off the report from last month, which claimed to be pretty lofty. ;) I also forgot to mention my other concern, which is that I’m not prepared to buy a meal in a restaurant, but that doesn’t preclude bumming a cafe table for a while.
Okay. I tentatively intend to show up, and will try to remember to actually do so. ;)
Oh, on Saturday. I was trying to find a day somewhere in the post body, and didn’t, so I assumed it was today. :p I see it in the headline now.
I am much less confident estimating how much I’ll feel like going out to meet some strangers in six days than in two hours, but the reminder can’t hurt. :)

Like the Iced Drink Theory that Mass_Driver gave us last time.

Would it help if I PM’d you on Saturday morning?
