A meetup for people interested in improving their reasoning and decision-making skills, technology, the long-term future, and philosophy. You don't have to know what LessWrong or Slate Star Codex are, but it definitely helps.
There is no specific topic for this meeting, just a list of prompts for us to use or ignore: - Identifying our mental blind spots - Noticing systematic biases in our behaviour and ways to fix them - How to evaluate contrarian ideas/when is it better to trust consensus and tradition - Recent progress in AI, ML, or science and technology in general - Future of work given AI progress - AI safety and ethics - Effective learning techniques - Designing better institutions - Your favourite philosopher/thinker and how they relate to any of those issues - Interesting things you have learned recently and want to share
There are 4 tables reserved for us this time, so switching subgroups and topics will be easier. There are 16 spots reserved in total - more people could likely be accomodated, but I can't guarantee more free tables/chairs. Due to the group reservation be prepared for 10% menu price hike.
