I’m on deck to run something but haven’t decided what yet. Some overlapping possibilities I’m toying with:
Practicum for CFAR-style “could you solve this in an hour?” focused on health, environmental health, and, uh, looking for a good term for things like cognition improvement and better fitness. Super health?
The first sounds like the sort of thing that turns out to be surprisingly useful (nobody ever gives me health advice). Mm, maybe folks can agree-react to this sentence if they too want to go to such a session?
Health and longevity blogger from Unaging.com here. I’ve submitted talks on optimal diet, optimal exercise, how to run sub 3:30 for your first marathon, and sugar is fine—fight me!
Looking forward to extended, rational health discussions!
Nice, just had a good call with Alkjash, who is coming and will be preparing 2 layman-level math talks about questions he’s been thinking about.
Other ideas we chatted about having at LessOnline include maybe having some discussions about doing research inside and outside of academia, and also about learning from GlowFic writers how to write well collaboratively. (Let me know if you’d be interested in either of these!)
Also here are some sessions tentatively scheduled (some may change):
Fighting Moloch in Politics talk/Q&A with Martin Sustrik
One-Shot ‘Baba Is You’ Rationality Exercises activity with Raymond Arnold
Write Your First Fact-Post activity led by Sarah Constantin
Currently Untitled Sequel to And All the Shoggoths Merely Players narrated by Zack Davis and John Wentworth
Write Your First Glowfic activity led by Alicorn
Podcast and Q&A with Alexander Wales (author of Worth the Candle) and Daystar Eld, moderated by Jamie Wahls
Wanted: People Who Want by Jacob Falkovich
Magic-The-Gathering Color Wheel for Writers talk by Duncan Sabien

Writing collaboratively is definitely something David and I have been trying to figure out how to do productively.
