Thank you, I will fix it and update in the workshop.

UPD: fixed, updated all links to the new version.

I now see what you mean by fallacies being X (errors in argumentation) and cognitive biases Y (errors in thinking).

However, you're using an idiosyncratic definition of the word "reasoning", and I would advise you to update your understanding so you reduce the chance of confusing more people in the future. "Reasoning" in many cases refers to internal thinking, as you can see explained here.

Ok, thank you.

What's the difference? I don't see a distinction between the phrases "faulty reasoning" and "mistake in thinking".

Comment author: Alexander230 24 July 2016 08:51:07AM 0 points [-]

Reasoning is when you tell your arguments to another person. Thinking is when you make decisions for yourself.

Great bias cards!

They are fallacy cards. Fallacy can be explained as "faulty reasoning" or "bad argument", and cognitive bias is "mistake in thinking". They have many similarities and intersections, though.

"Yudcoins, positive reinforcement and pizza will all be present." - what are yudcoins? (not a prospective participant, just want the information to potentially improve the meetups I run)

Yudcoins are homebrew currency (visiting cards). They are used for making bets on events, to calibrate estimation and prediction skills.

WHEN: 26 October 2014 03:00:00PM (+0400)

We start at 14:00 and stay until at least 19-20.

So which one is it?

Time is wrong because of Russian timezones change; meetings start at 14:00 (local time).

Great document! Were there any major changes from the last version on google docs?

Some comments:

The "Add new meetup" button described in "Making the announcement" only appears if you have more than two points of karma. While most organizers probably meet that requirement, I thought I simply hadn't found the right place and had to ask someone. I'd prefer if the button showed, but was disabled and had a "need two karma for that" tooltip for people with <2 karma over adding the information to the document.

In the section on Liar's dice:

See Wikipedia for a number of variants, as well as detailed information about the bidding systems.

Unfortunately the descriptions of the various bidding systems were recently removed from Wikipedia. This is the last revision that has them.

This 2 karma restriction creates inconvenience when an organizer wants to delegate the posting about meetup to another person who have to create new account. If it's an anti-spam measure, maybe it can be done in better way, such as optional phone number sms confirmation that will remove karma restriction from announce posting.
