Discussion article for the meetup : Sydney Meetup - March
So far so good. Our last two meetups have been great - so lets do it one more time.
6:30 PM for early discussion 7PM general dinner-discussion after dinner we'll have our rationality exercise and a more specific discussion-topic.
I'll book another table under the name "less wrong". Last meetup we were in the restaurant on level 2. When I arrive I'll facebook about where exactly the table is located.
I'd like to theme this meetup with a sub-goal of outreach.
If you've been thinking of a friend you might like to bring along - this is the night to do it.
We'll have a brief intro for any newbies to the community and maybe have our early discussion be about the community and what we think we can offer.
Afterwards, we'll havethe rationality exercise and more specific discussion-topic TBD by Eliot.
Nothing. As long as the ideas are worth spreading.
I notice it feels odd to me that your response indicates you missed my point. The language just feels like church to me. I'm not making any judgements against LW's content. In fact, I'm often quite complementary.
The reality is there are methods of spreading ideas that have been spoiled for many people.
Should they have been, though? Is there something inherently anti-epistemic about "If you've been thinking of a friend you might like to bring along - this is the night to do it"?
