Welcome to Lesswrong. We like rationality because it helps us achieve our goals. You might call it optimizing our lives.

Unfortunately, mass media portrayals of "rationality" make it seem like smart people want to lose all emotions and become Vulcan. That's a stupid goal, and not what we mean by rationality

so the easiest way on beeing rational would be to stop thinking at all and just exist. ie going to work, then home, sleep and so on.

doesn't sound like a happy and intelligent life to me

I would rather avoid Tik-Tak as meet-up location, as well as similar bars/cafés. Loud music/loud crowd, little light, much smoke... These reasons are behind my suggestion to go to somewhere more restaurant-like.

I myself will refrain from proposing further places, as too many options won't make it any easier.

there is actually a non-smoker area in the "bar" in wich it is rather quit, because there aren't any people in there.

How does eurg's suggestion, Koko, Südtiroler Platz, sound? Any more preferrable location?

i would suggest Tik Tak, Maygasse. And why don't we meet up on Saturday? Would be much easier since most of us have to work on monday.
