Mezik and I got talking this week and figured that being in an town with a major engineering program we might have enough less wrongians to begin a useful meet-up group. So we're making one happen.
Meet at 4pm at the USU Library If the weather is nice we will be outside of the cafe, otherwise we will head inside.
I'm drawing a bit of a blank as to what to do, but if we have enough people we will plan on playing paranoid debate.
What are some good question types for use in paranoid debate?
Edit: added a few tags. and question about good topics for paranoid debate.
Salt Lake is quite a drive for me, but I can try and make it down for one.
What are the chances we can find a place mid way between SLC/Logan to get a meetup until we can grow things enough to need two seperate groups, maybe somewhere between layton and ogden.
(contemplates drive)
We'd have to get into the habit of REALLY making these meetups count. I don't think I can justify an hour drive just to geek out over a couple of blog posts and the latest chapter of HPMoR. Once or twice maybe, just because I'm really sick of not being able to talk about this stuff without bending over backwards to cross inferential differences, but I don't trust that motivation to last very long.
I know Atheists of Utah already meets on Sundays in Ogden, at someplace called Grounds for Coffee. I'd never considered going to that before because of the drive, but it may be worth looking into if we're in the area.
