Hey all, we're coming up on the final weekend of our Kickstarter. Details in previous post, and a couple updates here:
Megameetup has 16 confirmed attendees. This is shaping up to be a really good chance to form productive conversations with other rationalists.
Solstice is currently at $2,740 (54% funded), with 65% of funding window elapsed. Please contribute - even a little helps.
To clarify for people buying multiple tickets, sponsors at $70+ automatically receive two tickets.
There will be additional tickets for purchase post-Kickstarter, conditional on meeting our goal, of course.
We're offering these incredibly cute stickers above certain backer levels!
Both are only open until Monday, Oct 30th - please give if you can to the Kickstarter, and we're excited to see you at the Megameetup!

Hey all, we’re currently raising funds for this year’s NYC Secular Solstice. As in previous years, this will be coinciding with the East Coast Rationalist Megameetup, which will be a mass sleepover and gathering in NYC spanning an entire weekend from December 8th to 10th.
The Solstice itself is on December 9th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, followed by an afterparty. This year’s theme is “Generations” - the passing down of culture and knowledge from teacher to student, from master to apprentice, from parent to child. The stories we tell will investigate the methods by which this knowledge has been preserved, and how we can continue to do so for future generations.
A hindsight solution for rationalists to have reduced the setup costs of buying bitcoin would have been either to have had a Rationalist mining pool or arrange to have a few people buy in bulk and serve as points of distribution within the community.
This suggests that if a future opportunity appears to be worth the risk of investment, but has some barrier to entry that is individually costly but collectively trivial, we ought to work first to eliminate that barrier to entry, and then allow the community to evaluate more dispassionately on risk and return alone.
