Context: ACX (Astral Codex Ten) is a blog popular in the rationality community. ACX Meetups are announced twice a year on that blog so readers can meet each other. We will discuss some recent articles (see link below), but as usual there will be at least one group that will just discuss any/every topic. On the whole we will chat, socialize and have fun.
Preparation
Read one or several of the following articles:
- Matt Yglesias Considered As The Nietzschean Superman
- Details That You Should Include In Your Article On How We Should Do Something About Mentally Ill Homeless People
- Consciousness As Recursive Reflections
What will we do?
We will divide into several groups to discuss the different articles listed above. There will be one group for people who did not read anything.
Organization
You are worried you have nothing to contribute? No worries! Everyone is welcome!
There always is a mix of German and English speakers and we configure the discussion rounds so that everyone feels comfortable participating. The primary language is English.
This meetup will be hosted by Omar.
There will be snacks and drinks.
We will go and get dinner after the meetup. Anyone who has time is welcome to join.
