  Raiden, let’s talk on IM and see if we can figure out a way to get you there. I’m not sure we have any members coming from AL, but there may be bus options we can explore. IM me on gchat at amidstawoken@gmail.com. -Katie

  Definitely! I will write up a summary and what I learned for the LW-organizers mailing group, if nothing else.

  Could I get a quick list of those top dozen improvements, so I can estimate the hourly rate for a $5k pay, and then forward that on to my extremely talented programmer fiance (who is also a LWer)?

  Hi guys! For those in our meetup group but not on facebook, let me draw your attention to some of the Lesswrong articles specifically mentioned last night:

  http://​​lesswrong.com/​​lw/​​bq0/​​be_happier/​​ This one has a high fact to word count ratio, so lots of bang for you buck.

  http://​​lesswrong.com/​​lw/​​3nn/​​scientific_selfhelp_the_state_of_our_knowledge This one may send you into hyperlink overload. Ooof!

  http://​​lesswrong.com/​​lw/​​4su/​​how_to_be_happy/​​

  http://​​lesswrong.com/​​lw/​​9v/​​beware_of_otheroptimizing/​​

  Enjoy, and be happy!

  If this opportunity ever comes around again, I want to do this! Female-mathy-transhumanist-educator sums up a lot of me. I organize the still-fledgling Atlanta LessWrong meetups, and I want to bring them back some memes from a highly concentrated rationalist community!

  Actually, the Atlanta Lesswrong Meetup is Friday, April 19th at 7PM (NOT the 22nd April date above). Totally my mistake, and I hope everyone can still make it!

  Yes! I have it on the following settings:

  • Privacy: Anyone can see the group, who’s in it, and what members post

  • Membership Approval: Any member can add or approve members

  which are the least restrictive options in both categories.

  If someone (who was not already invited and approved by a member) asks to join the group, it pops up a notification for me to approve them, but I have approved (and will approve) all requests that aren’t obviously spammers.

  in reply to: gwern’s comment on: Al­cor vs. Cry­on­ics Institute

  Can anyone here tell me more about Johnson’s book “Frozen” mentioned in this comment? I looked it up on Amazon and read Alcor’s response to legal issues here: http://​​www.alcor.org/​​press/​​response.html but what I want to know is, from LessWrongians who have read it, is it all a crock, or is there some truth in it?

  on: Ter­ror­ist lead­ers are not about Terror

  There was a Washington Post Article about the fact that bin Laden apparently had goals of damaging the U.S. economically instead of purely by death-destruction-terror. It goes on to discuss that in that respect, he might have been very successful.
