This is a long-term announcement, we are actually meeting biweekly! The intervening meetups aren't planned as far in advance, please use the mailing list!

Our next regular social meetup will be held on Saturday 15th June. It will likely take place at my house, check our mailing list for details.

The social meetup is intended as an informal and relaxed event for chats and games. Everyone is welcome!

Our next regular social meetup will be held on Saturday 20th April. We're meeting at John's place: If you're interested in coming, join our mailing list to get the exact location.

The social meetup is intended as an informal and relaxed event for chats and games. Everyone is welcome!

As announced on the mailing list: The next meetup will happen on Friday, April 5th, 19:30 at my house and we'll try something new. I declare it a 'practical rationality' or 'work' meetup, in which I'd like to establish some differences from the regular social gatherings we've done so far.

• Have a plan. Schedule food and activities. Actually follow it.
• Moderate discussion more strongly. Each subgroup will have one person responsible for keeping things on track, stop inadvertent topic switches, interrupt excessive anecdotes.
• Will probably alternate with social meetups.

Here's what I suggest for Friday:

19:30 - 20:00 - Settling down and food.

Edit: Fixme.

20:00 - 20:30 - What have you learned since we last met? What have you done?

This could be an interesting regular activity where we get a glimpse of what you're doing and which could help seed discussion later. Everyone is prompted to talk, answers should be short (< 3 min).

20:30 - 21:15 - Discussion groups?

I'd like to try breaking into discussion groups. The idea is that there are a several people who've announced beforehand that they'd lead a discussion on some topic and have briefly studied it. At the meetup, they give a mini-presentation (5 minute-ish) and everyone else decides which group to join. At the end of the session, one person from each group summarises for everyone else.

Check the mailing list for topics.

21:15 - end - Chat.

See you there!

We're meeting at my house again for a meetup on Saturday, March 23rd. Everyone is welcome. Please check the thread on our mailing list for details and the precise location.

Primarily, this is a social event where we talk and play games. There's one extra activity on the agenda:

• Everyone shares one goal. No matter whether it's something big or a short-term thing. State it, explain why, have a 2-minute pause to think, talk about how to achieve it as well as about alternatives for getting the same effect a different way.

Food worked out really well last time, we'll try that again unchanged. That means I'll make some soup, we will probably order pizza and you are encouraged to bring something tasty. It's perfectly ok to bring just a little, last time there was a lot left over.

See you there!

It's the first meetup at John's place! Check the mailing list for the exact location and details.

This is where we come together in person to chat!

We will experiment with emulating a small meetup by having two tables, hopefully leading to more personal discussions. There are no special activities this time. We'll talk about our plans and make commitments.

Everyone is welcome, I'll bring a sign.

We're meeting to chat and talk about practical rationality.

This time we'll

• discuss the first few items of the checklist of rationality habits,
• maybe get an personal account of mindfulness meditation practice,
• discuss our plans and make commitments.

Everyone is welcome, I'll bring a sign.
