Meetup : Vancouver Fashion for Rationalists
Discussion article for the meetup : Vancouver Fashion for Rationalists
We are going to have a guest come up from Seattle (jsalvatier) to give us his presentation on fashion for rationalists. It’s based on lukeprog’s awesome fashion workshop from the minicamps. This will be tons of fun. We will discuss the basics of fashion, and then go shopping in kitsilano, and possibly downtown!
The meetup will be on Sunday at 13:00 (sorry for those of you who don’t like Sundays). The house we will be in is big and brown and on the corner of 6th and Macdonald. Just come knock on the door.
As usual, if you aren’t already, get on our mailing list.
This is going to be fun! See you there.
I live nowhere near, but a write up of your conclusions on fashion would be very interesting.
Clearly it will conclude that fashion must be awesome.
Of course.
But fashion should also be a tool to help you produce awesomeness, and not just awesome itself.
Actually there might be something to that. At least at the Arrogant Runway Designers Level there is a lot of unclear firmness and expressing in no clear direction. There also seem to be signalling incentives to design a lot of really wierd stuff that nobody will ever wear—not because it’s impractical, but because it is just so aggressively wierd.
Same here. (Of course, what applies to British Columbia possibly won’t exactly apply to central Italy, but I guess it’ll be close enough.)
What are LessWrong meetups like? I’ve never been to a LessWrong meetup before. In fact, I’ve never even commented on a LessWrong post before. I’m just a lurker. But I would like to attend and I want to know what to expect.
