The meeting will be held in a discussion club format. That means - one of us (it would be me unless someone else is willing to) presents a quick report on a topic. Afterwards we have a chat about it. Topics are centered about:

- Human rationality (and improving our thinking in general)

- Cognitive science

- AI alignment, far future, transhumanism and relevant modern philosophy (More generally, intelligence in all its forms)

For this meetup, it will be:

- Introduction

- Presentation [ Epistemic and instrumental rationality, and what rationality is all about ]

- Discussion

/short break/

- Presentation [ Modelling thinking to fight procrastination ]

- Discussion

- 🍕 Pizza and games
