  • What fascinates you?
  • Which topics are not talked about enough, given how interesting/important they are?
  • Which question has been bugging you recently?
  • What would a society populated only by copies of you do that this one doesn't?
  • Which recommendation-worthy piece of fiction is under-recommended/not recommended at all?
  • Which blog posts would you write if you had the time/energy to?
  • How do you structure a typical day/week/month/ year?

This question has been asked, but I will ask again. In light of the upcoming meetups everywhere, I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of ice breaker questions, so we can make it easier for people to start conversations.

A few questions that have worked well for me:

  • What do you think about when you're not thinking about work?
  • How did you get into ACX/SSC/LW/EA?
  • What's something you've been putting lots of effort in recently?
  • What have you been thinking about lately?

Any other prompts?
