As usual at the king street brew house until someone comes up with something better.

Well, if people want regular, they'll get regular. In addition to capping off the talk about procrastination we had last time with some personal stories, I'm open to suggestions for topics. If nothing is viable in the week leading up to this I'll come up with something.

As a follow up to the meeting last time, the link to the page for Akrasia case studies is available here: http://lesswrong.com/lw/8ug/building_casestudies_of_akrasia/

[All advice for improving location/time would be appreciated, especially location, which has not worked out amazingly well before] Hello Less Wrongers of Sydney! Assuming the local interest has not died down, seems only right that we should try and set up another meet-up.

Given my (fairly well supported, I imagine) belief that peer pressure is one of the best methods to change behavior, I figure that the lowest hanging fruit we could discuss is trying to control Akrasia. I'm prepared to bring a structured plan and research (if there is interest) in order to achieve the following:

1. Review standing literature on causation.

2. Discuss current Akrasia control methods used by attendants, less wrong, life hacker, reddit extc. (all of which, of course, are noted for their effect AGAINST Akrasia control. Sudden thought - is there procrastination negative search engine?)

3. Try and assign tasks to willing participants, in order to test methods and combinations thereof. I've a mind that if this goes well we could contribute as a group to the less wrong community some good old fashioned data. Plus, it's always good to measure interest in a more regular meet-up!

Exact location is King Street Brewhouse, which is up for negotiation given dietary needs. Hey all, figured it's about time to try and Less wrong meet up again. Attendance was good last time, but perhaps some sort of focus would have been better. Hence, i suppose a Basics of rationality discourse might be good, alongside some practical application stories. Or if it turns out we are all amateurs, practical application plans! I'll be wearing a white suit jacket and reading something horrid behind a less wrong sign from 6:30 till 8:00 regardless of circumstances.
