For week 2 of our virtual meetups we now have the hang of how to make them happen, so it's time to return to topic-talk!

This week, I would like us to read the first chapter of the CFAR Handbook 2019 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UZYBtOJ3QZ7FTI_4eKjVzBSNUqC_Uba3/view) : Units of Exchange. Please read it early, so that you then have a chance to think about it and notice some of your own behaviours throughout the week. You do not need any prior readings from the handbook in order to join in on this topic!

Once you've read the chapter, spend the rest of the week taking note of tradeoffs when you notice them. In particular, notice when your taking some action is preceded by some variation on the thought, "Ah, fuck it-"
Also, if we could each try to read one of the further resources, we could cover them all and share anything striking.

Then join us on the Rational Ottawa discord (https://discord.gg/Uf7BYdS) this Friday at 7, for chapter related questions and discussion!

"See" you then!

TO BE OVER-ABUNDANTLY CLEAR: THERE WILL BE NO IN-PERSON MEETUP, DO NOT GO TO 123 FAKE ST AND EXPECT TO FIND US THERE.
