I might be there, assuming i can get over my fear of meeting strangers. Been hoping for a San Diego group for a while now!
How strong is your fear of meeting strangers? Is there anything we can do or commit to that would make this easier for you?
I have certainly improved in this area over the years but still have bouts of anxiety when meeting new people. My biggest fear is that I will be an outlier at the meetup; I'm relatively young (24), have very little schooling with no degree and very little experience in group situations. I don't think it will be a huge problem though, as I'm sure there will be a huge overlap in our interests, such as cognitive science (my long term career goal), economics, game theory etc.
This is definitely aligned with the group's interests.
Your age is pretty close to median age for past meetups, and there tends to be a wide range of education levels. I expect you will fit in just fine.
