Come be social and enjoy the fun and games with your fellow rationalists!

If you've not yet attended, this is an excellent time to come to the ATLesswrong for low-stress introductions and high-fun getting to know everyone.

We'll get to know each other, have snacks, play games (some may have to do with rationality, but only tangentially, we swear), and have weird discussions on everything from how exactly you do an EEG on a dolphin, to what your favorite type of pie is and why.

Bring your favorite games! Bring your favorite snacks and drinks! Bring your swimsuit, in case part of the party moves to the pool! (But you are in no way required to swim!)

Those of us who are up-to-date on HPMOR are certain to grab a corner and promote our pet theories while gesturing erratically at the ceiling. The rest of us who are not up-to-date are certain to frantically yell "no spoilers!" while gesturing erratically at that corner of the room.

Come one, come all. Bring your friend who likes games but who has never heard of utilitarianism or epistemology. Bring kittens you need to get adopted and force them on unsuspecting guests. Come hang out!

For the first of our two planned August meetups, we will be continuing our work on group self-improvement and Bayesian reasoning, as well as having super fun social times with games and banter!

Agenda:

  • Introductions and Welcome to New Members!

  • Meta-Meetup Stuff: Creating a regularly scheduled, twice monthly, meeting time. Mini-presentations by members. Currently we have a series going on epistemology.

  • Self-improvement brainstorming: Each meetup, we will invite one member to volunteer for our "self-improvement group hacking/brainstorming." The volunteer will discuss an issue with their lives, be it physical, emotional, intellectual, or philosophical, and invite feedback and brainstorming from other members to improve their lives.

  • Meetup Educational Experiences! We've done meditation, and we've been working on a series of Bayesian Reasoning Preliminaries on Probability and Confidence Intervals. We will continue with conditional probability and move towards rockin' us some Bayes' Theorem. Games, Social Time, Free Discussion

Please contact me if you have allergies to cats, as our meeting space has two. As always, vegan, gluten-free snacks will be provided. Feel free to bring additional snacks and drink!
