(If you want to do even more reading, check out some articles from the Pitfalls of Human Cognition sequence).
This will give us the language for a meta-discussion around which discussions really get our blood boiling and what works for us in terms of calming down and being less mad.
Hope to see you all there!
Next Time
Some advance notice: The meetup after this, I’d like to do a round of lightning talks! This looks like a slides-optional 5-15 minute talk given by one of you on any (non-math) subject you like and are interested in talking about, followed by a Q&A period. We’ll probably have time to do 3-5 of these. Let me know if there’s anything you want to give a talk on.
Seeing Clearly
[Edit: thank you to all 12 of you that showed up!]
Meet inside The Shops at Waterloo Town Square, I will be at one of the three long benches in the centre of the long walkway.
We’ll hang out for half an hour there to catch latecomers, then go get food, and then walk to my apartment nearby and hang out in the amenity room.
Topic & Readings

I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup
