Before ACX, LessWrong, or EA, there were the Sequences, a series of essays that explore the capabilities and failure modes of human reasoning. We haven’t actually discussed this yet, so let’s read (re-)read some of them.
The Sequences are a good(and sometimes obtuse) introduction to some of the core ideas of the exceedingly nebulous concept of rationality. So, if you would like to attend a meetup for the first time and lie vaguely within the sphere of rational-curious, rational-ish, “the Sequences are dumb and I want to tell you why,” or “wow, sounds like a neat cult,” come by and we can discuss!
You are still welcome to attend if you do not make it through all the readings. If you are a new member and want to attend an event, but are not interested in the Sequences, come anyways; you will not have trouble finding people interested in discussing other stuff!
