I'm imagining one central A3 poster with some information from the "About" page in larger type and perhaps prettied up some if I get time, and printouts of interesting articles in A4 surrounding it, including perhaps "Twelve Virtues of Rationality".
Pictures are better than words. I recall that Liron gave a presentation on cognitive biases about a year ago and posted about it -- maybe there are some useful images in the presentation.
You Are A Brain
Any particular favourite pictures from in there?
Maybe slide 8, with the map and the brain?
If it's a ton of fine print, the number of people who'll have a chance to read all of it is very small.
just throwing out ideas here - how about structuring it as "mind map" type hierarchical digests?
Building such a map by next Saturday could be tricky!
It's the 24th, not the 17th.
"next Saturday" seems to be ambiguous - I'm used to using "this Saturday" to refer to what would today (14th) be the 17th and "next Saturday" for the subsequent one on the 24th, but it looks like not everyone shares that usage. I could spend some time on it this weekend but I don't want to commit to it because it's hard to estimate how long it will take or how much time I'll have.
Yes, I've found both usages of "next" to have some currency.
I think the least ambiguous is "this Saturday" and "Saturday a week".
