So, by default I think this fails to teach anyone involved a useful rationality skill. I’m imagining a crowd comes together, you make a short speech about how Harris is great, and then the attendees mingle and talk to each other. Attendees might enjoy it and that’s not pointless, but it’s not something I’d be excited about.
If I somehow was placed in the position of having to run the linked meetup, my best idea in five minutes would be to arrange to give a short speech. That speech would consist of Policy Debates Should Not Appear Onesided, Correspondence Bias, and how I viewed prediction markets as a useful tool in how Harris got selected so pay attention to news reports with prediction market odds in them.
There’s probably a better way to run the meetup. I came up with that in about five minutes, based on the skills and knowledge I have. Anyone have an idea that beats that?
The idea is that we don’t need to say “Harris is great” because everyone already thinks that if they’re coming. We are only focusing on motivating metrically-defined outcome oriented actions. It’s a game. “Who can get the most votes for Harris?” Different teams will focus on different actions. Post card writing. Fundraising. Voter registration. We’ll optimize and learn.
