Many of us enjoy expressing ourselves through electronic games. As such, I feel that this aspect of our lives should be shared among our fellow gamers in the LessWrong community.
Video games are a great way to reduce compartmentalization and learn real-world rationality skills. Indeed, what brings us together at LessWrong can often be our love of games; someone in the LessWrong community without this advantage might find learning rationality difficult. In this light, outreach into the transhumanist/rationalist community to promote gaming is low-hanging fruit for serving the future of humanity.
Please consider this post a unique opportunity to begin discussion of this important issue and facilitate further debate in the near future.
Hm... so who else plays Go and is familiar with the KGS server?
I've not played in a while, and I never was good, but I wouldn't mind meeting some Lesswrongians and having them trounce me (and maybe teach me something useful).
Also, is there some place Lesswrongians go for real-time chat?
