Anyone interested in an online LessWrong/SlateStarCodex meetup?
We’d start with personal introductions for some sociability, and then do a Rump Session, where anyone can step up and give a four minute talk; then, if you want to keep talking, the audience votes on whether to go another three minutes. Talks can be spontaneous rather than prepared, and on any subject that you’d like: Science topics, poetry readings, or anything else.
At LessWrong Israel, we’ve found this to be a lot of fun—no risk of being bored or boring, as talks are so short.
As it would be online, people from anywhere could join as timezones allow.
If you think you’d like such a thing, please upvote and/or comment.
