Discussion article for the meetup : Philadelphia Meetup: Against Rationalization

WHEN: 26 April 2012 07:00:00PM (-0400)

WHERE: 1301 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA 191073521

We'll be having our next meetup on Thursday, April 26th at 7 P.M. at the Starbucks in Macy's Center City (same location as for our immediate past meetup on macroeconomics).

Topic of discussion will be the Against Rationalization subsequence of the critical How to Actually Change Your Mind sequence of Less Wrong.

Those interested in attending the meetup are kindly requested to please complete the following three tasks in advance of the 26th:

  1. Read the articles (if you haven't already)!
  2. Bring at least one question concerning the articles to discuss with the group (i.e maybe something which confused you, or which you think would make for thought-provoking discussion).
  3. Bring in a real-world example/case study which illustrates a concept from the articles, or else why you find said concepts important (or not important!). Your example/case study can be from your own life, someone else's life, world news, or pretty much whatever other field suits your needs best.

The Starbucks closes at 9 P.M. that night, so we should have a good 2 hours to get through all the material the above three tasks should (hopefully) fuel in the conversation.

Looking forward to seeing many of you again soon!
