The ACX/EA/LW Sofia Meetup for January will be on the 25th (Sunday) at 17:00 at the Mr. Pizza on Vasil Levski.
Sofia ACX started with the 2021 Meetups Everywhere round. Attendance hovers around 4-8 people. Everyone worries they're not serious enough about ACX to join, so you should banish that thought and come anyway. "Please feel free to come even if you feel awkward about it, even if you’re not 'the typical ACX reader', even if you’re worried people won’t like you", even if you didn't come to the previous meetings, even if you don't speak Bulgarian, etc., etc.
Each month we pick something new to read and discuss. This time, we're discussing Chapter 1 of Unsong by Scott Alexander.
See you there.

This year's Spring ACX Meetup everywhere in Sofia.
Location: We'll be in the gazebo in "Слънчевата градинка" (picture here https://maps.app.goo.gl/7uBsEdBKGrN2i8F6A). This little garden is part of Borisova Gradina near the tennis courts, roughly between the Television Tower and Levski Stadium. If you think you'll have trouble finding it, email me and I'll arrange for someone to meet you. – https://plus.codes/8GJ5M8HW+7G

Sorry about that. The meeting is in a gazebo in Borisova Gradina near the Television Tower. If you like, I can meet you somewhere nearby at 3:30 and walk you there. Here's what the gazebo looks like: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.676508,23.3457875,3a,75y,237.37h,90t/data=!3m11!1e1!3m9!1sAF1QipMgyrAn-NWbQg94Ljzvpiq8utuRaQKPtzjtQaVl!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMgyrAn-NWbQg94Ljzvpiq8utuRaQKPtzjtQaVl%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi0-ya219.65714-ro-0-fo100!7i10240!8i5120!9m2!1b1!2i52?coh=205409&entry=ttu

How about this? "Bureaucrats optimize their work so that by 5 o'clock their desks are clear."
ohhhhh!
What were the lives of the red-headed children like? Were they in the know about the nature of the experiment? I suppose they must have been, but then how could such small kids be such good actors? I'm doubtful about the power of stories versus someone's experience, but I liked the story :)
