(Bring one or two topics of discussion from the following categories)
Instrumental rationality — everyone picks *one* goal they've failed to make progress on on the past month. We spend five minutes apiece brainstorming ways to fix that.
Unconfusing ourselves — everyone brings an easy or hard question related to something from the Less Wrong material. My question is: “What, exactly, is timeless decision theory? How does it it differ from other decision theories? How does it depend on thinking of time as timeless?”
