Took the survey. Feels good to be posting a comment again, think it's potentially a way to get people to overcome the tendency to just lurk.
While I don't speak for them, I was talking to a few actual DC members during the Megameetup and there was interest in going. I'm going to be pushing for this.
I'm interested in this event and in meeting LW members. I live in DC and have a bed and an air mattress for people needing a place to stay, and could host if we need a location for a meetup.
I agree. The waterline metaphor is not so commonly known outside LW that it would evoke anything except some watery connotations.
So, what about a nice-looking acronym like "Truth, Rationality, Universe, Eliezer"? :)
If there is concern that people outside of LW won't know the metaphor, then the name "Rationality Waterline" can be used at first with the goal of gaining enough recognition to move on to simply "Waterline" at a later date.
I really like this idea and would love to attend such an event. Ritual is a powerful tool for creating a deep and lasting impact on people, and I imagine that a ritual created by someone who knows the sequences and ideas of LessWrong could be a really amazing experience.
