Victoria Krakovna will be running a session on Aversion Factoring and Calibration (based on a CFAR unit). While Goal Factoring is useful for understanding your motivations for things you do, Aversion Factoring helps you analyze the things you are averse to doing.

Cambridge/Boston-area Less Wrong Wednesday meetups are once a month at 7pm at Citadel (98 Elm St Apt 1 Somerville, near Porter Square). All other meetups are on Sundays.

Our default schedule is as follows:

—Phase 1: Arrival, greetings, unstructured conversation.

—Phase 2: The headline event. This starts promptly at 7:30pm, and lasts 30-60 minutes.

—Phase 3: Further discussion. We'll explore the ideas raised in phase 2, often in smaller groups.
