I’m “new” here, having spent the last 2 years reading and following the “core” material. I have no clue how I got here. I remember following an idle path of exploration and suddenly finding this beautiful place where it seems like there are true adults.
I’m a young adult constantly amazed at the scope of this world, a composition student that has somehow gained (mild) success (read: gotten paid anything at all), I’ve used basic rationality tools when deciding if my (then) relationship was worth it, found out that it wasn’t, I didn’t accept the answer, tried again when everything in that relationship was on fire and managed to leave relatively unharmed. I hope to gain some friendships from this community, and I’m looking for people willing to do some betting to help train a beginner rationalist mind.
I think it’s time for me to engage in the community, now that I’m young and able to change my habits “easily” for the better. I’ve been thinking of starting some sort of rationalist hangout/meetup in Malmö, Sweden (where i currently live). I’m slightly unsure where I could check if there’s any interest at all, pointers would be welcome :)
Adding yourself to the map is the first thing I would do, and then most likely I would see whether there have been any meetups historically anywhere close to your area. It appears there is a meetup in 10 days in Copenhagen, which seems pretty close to Malmo.
Hey people!

At that meetup you might also be able to figure out whether there are any people directly from your area interested in a meetup.
