For this month’s discussion, we’ll be discussing finding meaning in a post-work world. The focus isn’t as much about when/whether we will have a post-work world.
We suggest some readings/videos below that offer background and a few perspectives. Please feel free to come even if you haven’t done the reading, 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!
