  • How did you find lesswrong?

  • Rational fiction

  • Effective Altruism

Welcome to the second Lesswrong meetup, this time at a hackerspace.

The entrance is a bit quirky: a big green double door With "NILZ" in yellow writing over it, just ring the doorbell marked "bitraf" and say anything.

As with last meetup there will be several topics up for discussion, but I won't list them here.

I hope some of those who couldn't make it last week will turn up then :)

Reminder: Oslo Lesswrong meetup...

4 FourFire 22 May 2015 06:54AM

... is happening 17:00 local time today at the UiO Science library.

 

There will be cookies and popcorn, and those other reasons for attending a meetup.

If enough of the people who turn up are interested, this may become an annual, monthly, or even weekly event.

Current topics we will be discussing (subject to change of course):

* Introduction

* Raising the sanity waterline

* Effective Altruism

* Transhumanism / Futurism

(and sub-topics thereof)

 

There will be a sign with explicit directions to where in the building the meetup is located at the entrance.

Further planned meetups will be fleshed out then.

I look forward to seeing you there ;)

Meetup: Oslo LessWrong meetup planning thread.

After some deliberation, I realized that an Oslo meetup wasn't going to happen by itself, and after my somewhat abortive (and way too late) attempt to organize a PI day HP:MoR wrapup meeting, I decided to just do it, and announce that it's happening, four weeks in advance.

Please add yourself to the coordination timetable.

Here are the possible locations:

UiO Science library (only open on the friday).

Hackerspace-Makerspace.

 

I'd prefer to meet up at the Library, because it seems like the perfect place for a LessWrong meetup, and it's open to the public until 10PM.
However if it doesn't suit enough people, timewise, then I do have 24/7 access to the hackerspace as a backup plan, and there is food nearby.

Please respond with any suggestions as this really is my first time organizing anything, I am aware of the guide.

 

Edit: Unfortunately That Social Media Site has locked both of my accounts, so contact me either via freenode (FourFire), PM here, or email me.
