I wish there had been a FB event for this, since that's one of the main ways I keep track of events. Alternatively, perhaps this page could have had some sort of downloadable calendar file so that I could have easily added it to google calendar.

I like the google calendar idea quite a bit.

LessWrong team just had a retreat last week that took up most of our cognition, and then yesterday at 11:30pm Ben was like "hey Ray, um, should I make a FB event?" and I was like "idk man, it is pretty last minute to make a FB event. Maybe?" and he said "whelp, I guess we get to find out this week how many people will find the event via LessWrong?" and I said "yup, guess so."

For the record I saw this on LW, then didn't take any note of it, assuming there would be a FB event. But I do think it's fine to run this experiment.

"Ran an experiment" is a bit of an optimistic framing of how we went about it. But, yeah.

This Sunday at 12pm (PDT), we're running another session of "lightning talks" by curated LessWrong authors (see here for previous weeks' transcripts).

  • Each talk will be 3-5 minutes followed by discussion. Afterwards, we'll have a hangout in breakout rooms. The talks will be short and focus on presenting one core idea well, rather than rushing through a lot of content.
  • We want to give top LessWrong writers an interesting space to discuss their ideas, and have more fruitful collaboration between users. Think of it like a cross between an academic colloquium and some friends chatting by a whiteboard.

If you're a curated author and interested in giving a 5-min talk at a future event, which will then be transcribed and edited, sign up here.
