Meet Up: Philadelphia Meetup: Against Rationalization
We'll be having our next meetup on Thursday, April 26th at 7 P.M. at the Starbucks in Macy's Center City (same location as for our immediate past meetup on macroeconomics).
Topic of discussion will be the "Against Rationalization" subsequence (wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/HowToActuallyChangeYourMind#AgainstRationalization) of the critical "How to Actually Change Your Mind" sequence (http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Sequences#How_To_Actually_Change_Your_Mind) of Less Wrong.
Those interested in attending the meetup are kindly requested to please complete the following three tasks in advance of the 26th:
- Read the articles (if you haven't already)!
- Bring at least one question concerning the articles to discuss with the group (i.e maybe something which confused you, or which you think would make for thought-provoking discussion).
- Bring in a real-world example/case study which illustrates a concept from the articles, or else why you find said concepts important (or not important!). Your example/case study can be from your own life, someone else's life, world news, or pretty much whatever other field suits your needs best.
The Starbucks closes at 9 P.M. that night, so we should have a good 2 hours to get through all the material the above three tasks should (hopefully) fuel in the conversation.
Looking forward to seeing many of you again soon!

I can attend, but I'm not sure I'll get all the prep work done.
