Ave, Rationalists!

Many of you may be acquainted with Seasteading, the gerund-as-verb meaning the process of creating floating cities with experimental societies to create competition and innovation amongst governments. If you're haven't been aware of the concept before, you now have no excuse: you can find out more at http://seasteading.org/

Michael Keenan, the man who started the Less Wrong meetings in Vancouver, is potentially moving away from our sunny city. But before he does, he has offered to give a talk about Seasteading, which should prove to be all sorts of intriguing and insightful. Due to time constraints, he may have time for Q&A, but not into the evening. Unfortunately.

As always, Waves Coffee on Howe and Smithe (http://www.wavescoffee.ca/locations/howesmithe.html) will hopefully once more prove to be a robust location. Bring coffee money, as although the rule hasn't been strictly enforced, they make ask all of us to purchase something.

As usual, come one and come all: bring the interested and interesting of all shapes and sizes. Especially the rational ones.
