We will be meeting in the Kogod Courtyard of the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture (8th and F Sts or 8th and G Sts NW, go straight past the information desk from either entrance) to talk about the LessWrongian short story “The Sword of Good”. We will congregate between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m., and begin the discussion at 3:30.
“The Sword of Good” is a short story by Eliezer Yudkowsky in the form of an excerpt from a swords-and-sorcery fantasy novel. I won’t give any major spoilers here, but it’s a good read, and deconstructs some of the tropes of the subgenre. Discussion will continue as long as people are interested; as always, side conversations are permitted and encouraged.
