Aspiring Rationalist Congregation of Rockville

We are having another rationalist Shabbat event at Rainbow Star House this Friday. The plan going forward will be to do one most Fridays. Email or DM me for the address if you haven’t been before.

We are looking for 1-2 people to help with food this week-- if you can bring snacks/dips or a big pot of food/casserole (or order food), please let me know. These events will only be sustainable for us if we can keep getting help from the community, please pitch in if you can!

What is this event?

At rationalist Shabbat each week, we light candles, sing Landsailor, eat together, and discuss topics of interest and relevance to the rationalist crowd. For those interested, we will be discussing Which of Scott Aaronson's five AI worlds will come to pass? after dinner https://www.metaculus.com/questions/20683/. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop. If you have suggestions for topics, would like to help contribute food, or otherwise assist with organizing, let us know.

This is a kid-friendly event -- we have young kids, so we have space and toys for them to play and hang out while the adults are chatting.

Doors open at 5:30pm, ritual and food a bit after.
