The theme of this meetup will be applied rationality. We’ll go through some CFAR materials, and we’ll try a few rationality exercises. The location is still uncertain, but will be updated as soon as possible.

13 people met in Kaisla. Due to unclear distribution of organizing responsibilities, no exercises were actually tried, but we did look at some materials. Split into smaller groups later in the park, which at least in my experience resulted in increased activity.
Some had tried more active self-quantifying since the QS meet and noticed at least temporary benefits. Discussed habit formation, self-rewarding, and social pressure (through sharing). Shared experiences on comfort zone expansion.
Also discussed/mentioned:
Resolving conflicts in relationships.
Changing variables in some mental simulation while observing what kind of scenario would surprise you, and why.
Value of Information.
Nonviolent Communication.
Speed reading.
Prediction markets.
Personal problem solving meetups.
Emotions that lack accurate translations between languages.
