A large academic literature exists on how people who read fiction have more empathy. Granted, causality could go both directions. See https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C22&q=people+who+read+lots+of+fiction+have+more+empathy&btnG=
HI Everyone. I'm a psychology professor and have been thinking about the prisoners' dilemma since I read Axelrod's book, The Evolution of Cooperation, in the 1990s. Axelrod appeared to have the last word on strategies back then (cooperate on the first move, then tit-for-tat plus occasional forgiveness to avoid getting off track if a partner makes a mistake). I do not know too much about variations, although the TV show Friend or Foe made some waves 20+ years ago. In the few excerpts I've seen of that show, the naked manipulation made my skin crawl. I just checked the wiki for the show and it turns out there have been at least 3 other games shows that involve a cooperate vs. defect component. This will be my first time attend a LessWrong event, and I'm interested in the variations Ben Thompson has developed and learning from all of you.

I subscribe to Hanson's substack, and I also do not understand Hanson's repeated exhortations that cultural drift is a severe threat. Indeed, I found the current article from googling to understand Hanson, ha ha. I agree with your summary of Hanson's views. I don't understand the same things that you don't understand.
My own views (of course Hanson would disagree with these): Fertility decline will not proceed to the point that the Amish and Mennonites will dominate in 2 centuries. Why: a lot of things can happen in 50-100 years.
Some possibilities:
There are two times and two locations; I realize that is just a mistake, the 2pm event is what is on the facebook page. Do you have any examples of drills?
