There will probably be at least one other newcomer to this meetup.
How much familiarity with Less Wrong is expected?
None. LessWrong is in the name, but really we’re more interested in building a community of like-minded people to have interesting discussions with.
How does a meetup generally looks like?
We’re a fairly small group at the moment; expect 3-5 people on an average meetup. It’s very informal. Mostly we just talk about interesting things we’ve read or experienced, often science- or technology-related, and we let the conversation go anywhere. Newcomers can participate like everyone else.
We’ve recently started picking specific topics for each meetup to have something to fall back on, though there’s no obligation to stick to it. Sometimes someone has an exercise or game prepared—this time it’ll be the memory palace if I can get it to work.
Friendly curiosity.
