On the agenda for this month will be - at least - this:
1 - Intros. What's the most (or least!) rational thing you did in the last month?
2 - A short Fermi estimation intro and game, by me
3 - Discussion of the next chunk of the Rationality book. That will be the interlude ("The Simple Truth"), the intro to Book II ("Rationality: an Introduction"), and then Part E ("Overly Convenient Excuses"), which is chapters 46 to 56.
Also, please note that the venues for this meetup are closer to Haymarket station than they are to Waverley station.
