The next monthly discussion meetup is next Saturday, March 7 @ 2 PM (see below for location etc.). We’ll be discussing gentrification. We suggest some readings/videos below that offer background and a few perspectives. As usual, you are welcome to come regardless of how much of the reading you do ahead of time.
Please feel free to come even if you’re worried it will be awkward, you won’t fit in, or you aren’t the “typical person who comes to a Rationality meetup.” We are welcoming (albeit occasionally argumentative)!
