So for November we’ll meet at my apartment again. Rather than assigning any reading, we’re going to try having everyone who wants to do so make a 10 minute presentation on something they’ve read that they found interesting and want us to talk about, followed by ten minutes of discussion on it. I will use a timer. Be warned: If nobody comes with a discussion, we will spend the entire time discussing whatever presentation I do. Don’t doom us all to that fate.
Afterwards I plan to take advantage of our location at my apartment to bake pizzas for everyone—so tell me if you are coming and what toppings you’d like available / bring toppings yourself if you’d like something particular.
Also since some people mentioned an interest in it, here is a link to the extremely SSC/ Less Wrong sci fi story I’ve written. It basically is about population ethics, the Archipelago, and maybe why an universal surveillance state run by an AI would be (might be?) a good and necessary thing.
