Many of the meetups I've been to have involved praise competitions, i.e., let's see who can all suck up to the SIAI more intelligently.

Really? Huh. I've now gone to ~10 meetups in 5 geographic areas, and the only one that might have fit that description (although I don't think it did) was the very first Overcoming Bias meetup in the Bay Area.

It would probably be rude for me to ask which meetups felt that way to you.
