Willpower group is our long-running project, coming to an end soon. People were working through Kelly McGonigal’s “Willpower Instinct”, one chapter per week. I guess I should write up about it.
Don’t know much about terminal values exercise yet. I’ll let its maker know that you’re interested.
We all speak Russian, so the stream isn’t going to be useful to the general lesswrong.com community, unfortunately.
There were 8 people at the last session. I expect to see a slight increase next time.
Topics included:
general introductions;
conjunction fallacy and planning fallacy (discussing in 2 subgroups);
anthropic trillemma / permutation city argument;
organizational issues;
discussion about how to expand our local presence, including one practical case of “how to touch on rationality topics at a dentist conference”.
I’m not sure how representative this list is, it was my first LW meetup.
I hope me or someone else will post more detailed reports for future sessions.
