The next monthly discussion meetup is Saturday, June 3 @ 2 PM. For this up-coming meetup, we’ll draw on a short sequence on the media from Astral Codex Ten to discuss the degree to which the media lies, as well as the implications for handling lying/misinformation/deception in the media.
Below you’ll find the links to the relevant posts, which are maybe an hour of reading in total, but, as usual, we encourage you to come whether you’ve read anything or not.
Also, 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)!
DATE & LOCATION
Date: Saturday, 6/3 @ 2pm–4pm (roughly)
Location: South Loop Strength & Conditioning – upstairs in the mezzanine
645 S Clark
Chicago IL 60605
Note: Todd owns this gym so that’s why there’s a Rationality meetup at a gym 🙂
If you have trouble finding us, please DM Todd or Shane on the Discord or post in “meetups”. You can also text Shane (608-436-1809).
