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)?
Meetup : Atlanta Lesswrong: Cryonics FAQ & Signing up Party!
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!
Meetup : April Atlanta Meetup! Friday, April 19th
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.
Yeah! I’ve had new people interested in the facebook group who are going to come!

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?
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.
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
