This time we'll have Robin Hanson as a guest, giving a talk on Cultural Drift: "Our Big Oops - How We Broke Humanity’s Superpower, And Can’t See How To Fix It."
Hanson is an American economist and author. He is associate professor of economics at George Mason University and a former research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University. Hanson is known for his work on idea futures and markets, and he was involved in the creation of the Foresight Institute’s Foresight Exchange and DARPA’s FutureMAP project. He invented market scoring rules like LMSR (Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule): used by prediction markets such as Consensus Point (where Hanson was Chief Scientist), and has conducted research on signalling. He also proposed the Great Filter hypothesis.
Doors open 6pm, talk + Q&A 7pm-8pm, socializing from 8pm. It helps if you RSVP on Luma.
