ACX/Less Wrong Budapest

Dear Friends who Have Ascended the Mountains of Rationalism,

Our next meetup will be Saturday, March 15th from 1-4 pm at my apartment:

66/B/1 Ulloi Ut
6th floor, door 3
Ring 27

This meetup coincides with the Hungarian National Day, commemorating the 1848 Revolution – one of Hungary's many celebrated military defeats (but perhaps all of them were spiritual victories?)

For this session, we'll be discuss genetic engineering and intelligence enhancement:

"How to Make Superbabies" contends that creating babies far smarter than present humans is far more achievable than many believe.


 

"Statistical Challenges with Making Super-IQ Babies" is a much shorter response that argues for significant practical limitations.

As a bonus topic: "Why I Don't Believe in the Placebo Effect," which says there is no placebo effect. 


I look forward to a lively discussion where we go around in circles but still have fun thoughtfully examine these contrasting perspectives. 


Hope to see many of you there!

Best regards,
Tim
