This is a social event where we get together with people who like rationality, not a way for the shadowy cabal of beisutsukai to puzzle out the secret of quantum gravity.

How do I join the latter?

1: Assemble beisutsukai in a shadowy location.

2: Declare yourselves a cabal.

3: Puzzle out the secret of quantum gravity.

I'm pretty sure we'd have to generate any beisutsukai at all first, as well.

  1. Create a beisutsukai.

  2. ??? (event horizon)

  3. Profit.

I've tried to start cabals before, but most of them never got much momentum. I was hoping to join a preexisting cabal so as to determine whether I'm more effective caballing that way.

All the evidence necessary for a Bayesian to infer the answer to that question is publicly available. Finding the cabal is the first requirement for entry.
