There were 8 people at the last session. I expect to see a slight increase next time.

Topics included:

  • general introductions;
  • conjunction fallacy and planning fallacy (discussing in 2 subgroups);
  • anthropic trillemma / permutation city argument;
  • organizational issues;
  • discussion about how to expand our local presence, including one practical case of "how to touch on rationality topics at a dentist conference".

I'm not sure how representative this list is, it was my first LW meetup.

I hope me or someone else will post more detailed reports for future sessions.

Yes, that is correct. We are also going to post more detailed reports in Russian on Russian forum.
