Someone already mentioned a wiki, my suggestion is:
-there needs to be a place to announce rationalist meetings, a page where you can look up your country/city and join a rationalist community or create a new one.
-MENSA could be an inspiration and a place to look for members(although this idea to fish members from another organization has the potential to generate friction).
-there is already too much information on this site, tons of postings and this thread alone now has 28 comments(and counting), I’m not going to invest a lot of time to wade through this quagmire, sorry. Not that information is bad, but my time is limited, hence I second the motion for more organization(wiki).
PS: I live in Rio de Janeiro, send me a message if you want to meet.
Indeed. While this site is valuable, I don’t think most worthwhile people have the time to keep track of it all. It seems that a motivated person (or softbot) could do well to filter the gems into a wiki or something.
Perhaps someone could summarize main points in the discussion and post a weekly article somewhere giving a narrative of what’s going on over at LW.
