Discussion article for the meetup : West LA—DUMP STAT

WHEN: 10 December 2014 07:00:00PM (-0800)

WHERE: 11066 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

How to Find Us: Go into this Del Taco. We will be in the back room if possible.

Parking is free in the lot out front or on the street nearby.

Discussion: Contra Heinlein, humans in large populations ought to specialize. This means sacrificing jack-of-all for expertise in one domain. But which things are best to sacrifice? Which things do you already do that you should do less of? What should your dump stats be?

Recommended Reading:

  • The Social Coprocessor Model
  • Comparative Advantage
  • Dump Stat on TVTropes

No prior exposure to Less Wrong is required; this will be generally accessible.
