Eliezer Yudkowsky and Michael Vassar are going to be speaking at NYU this Thursday, March 3rd, on the subject of SIAI and rationality. Any readers in the NYC area are encouraged to attend.
Details:
6-8 PM Vanderbilt Hall, Room 220 40 Washington Square South
Food and drink will be provided. There will be a small reception at a nearby bar at the conclusion of the talk as well.
Even if you don't live here yourself, you can still show support by inviting anyone you know in the NYC area via the Facebook event.
haha...i like your style, but I live literally two blocks away, so if i go and don't get let in it would be the same distance as walking to the grocery store...no harm, no foul...but how about you give me 50:1 on $100 and I will show up with a shirt that reads "I am literally going to murder Eliezer Yudkowsky and Michael Vassar if you let me into this event" in big bold letters....would you take that bet?
Killing humans is bad, because human life is sacred (in a non-offensive secular sense).

I'm curious: do you mean to imply that whoever is in a position to not let you in (assuming for the sake of argument that someone is) ought to consider that shirt evidence that it's dangerous to do so? Or merely that you consider it (somewhat) likely that they will?
The latter I can see, but I'd be interested in your reasons for the former.
