I liked that bit, it's a pity you took it out! C'mon, nobody really worries about irgendwelche Sympathien or historischen Verantwortung, right? I'd be quite surprised if Eliezer was in any way offended ...
By the way, I'm in Paris so there's a small possibility I might make it to a German meetup if it happens to be convenient, but it's still pretty unlikely (I speak some German, but forgot a lot; I like practicing when I can).
Naturally I find it funny, too;)
But think about it: It's the first time lesswrong members from Germany meet, and they already make jokes about Jews, and how they will take over the world.
I'd be surprised if Eliezer was offended, too, but I guess it just wasn't worth the risk of annoying possible readers. I'm pretty new here and most don't know me very well, so I probably should make such jokes in private or where the chance of misinterpretation is otherwise very low.
I wish I were a Jew, then I could make jokes about Hitler all the time, and everybody wou...
As far as I can tell, there never has been a LW-meetup in a german-speaking country. This is crazy!
There should be enough Lesswrongers from Germany, Austria or Switzerland to achieve a reasonable group size!
To be a bit more specific, how about meeting in Munich? It's relatively in the middle of the three countries, but it's fine if you propose another city!
I'm not sure about the date, but how about sometime in July or August? We would have plenty of time until then. But I'm happy if you propose another date!
I don't know if I'm merely shouting in the void, but I hope some aspiring rationalists are out there!
So If you're interested in such a meeting, please make a comment!
Added: Oh, and if you are not from a German-speaking country you are welcome, too!
