Everyone who RSVP'd to this event will be notified.
Guys! Only 4 of you filled out the feedback form so far. Here it is again, please fill it out so I know how to make things better. :-)
This is an idea and NOT a recommendation. Unintended consequences abound.
Have you thought about sorting into groups based on carefully-selected categories? For example, econ/social sciences vs quant background with extra whiteboard space, a separate group for new arrivals who didn't do the readings from the other weeks (as their perspectives will have less overlap), a separate group for people who deliberately took a bunch of notes and made a concise list vs a more casual easygoing group, etc?
Come get old-fashioned with us, and let's read the sequences at Lighthaven! We'll show up, mingle, do intros, and then split off into randomized groups for some sequences discussion. Please do the reading beforehand - it should be no more than 20 minutes of reading.
This group is aimed for people who are new to the sequences and would enjoy a group experience, but also for people who've been around LessWrong and LessWrong meetups for a while and would like a refresher.
This meetup will also have dinner provided! We'll be ordering pizza-of-the-day from Sliver (including 2 vegan pizzas). Please RSVP to this event so we know how many people to have food for.
We're working through the sequences highlights. The mandatory readings this week are
These are quite short and should take around 15-20 minutes to read all together.
The meetup starts at 6pm. We'll split into discussion groups around 6:30, and dinner will be served at about 7:30pm, after which point we'll hangout around the fireside as late as we feel like.
You can come without having read the essays from the sequences, we do want you to get to join, but then you will have to do a punishment. (And then you still have to catch up on reading the essays during the meetup.)
Some questions to ask yourself about the essays as you read them
