We will be meeting in the Kogod Courtyard of the National Portrait Gallery (8th and F Sts or 8th and G Sts NW, go straight past the information desk from either entrance) to talk about Philip E. Tetlock's book Expert Political Judgment: How Good Is It? How Can We Know?. Per the norm, we plan to let people congregate from 3:00 to 3:30 before kicking things off.
As with prior informal-discussion meetups, conversation on any subject of interest to attendees (be it in the main conversation or in a side conversation) is both permitted and encouraged, but we suggest taking advantage of the meetup topic as a Schelling point.
Upcoming Meetups:
The Less Wrong DC organizers haven't decided whether to hold meetups on the remaining two Sundays in 2014: the 21st is the day after Brighter Than Today, a secular winter solstice celebration that many regulars will be out of town for, and the 28th falls during the week after Christmas Day, an ostensibly-religious winter solstice celebration that many regulars may be out of town (or hosting out-of-town guests) for. If there is sufficient interest in attending a meetup on either or both of these dates, meetups will occur; otherwise the Fun & Games meetup will be postponed to January 4th.
