A small but vocal crowd appeared and the topics were more or less
- Dune
- Guns (of course)
- Classic works of sci fi
- Visions of the afterlife
- The UBI (briefly)
- High variance in educational experience
- Ponderings on the immunity of education to technology (this was more by me after the meetup)
- Geographic determinism and the fortunes of nations
- Our superiority to West Coast Rationalists
I am not sure where the November meetup will be – stay tuned for more information.
Hi! My name is Anish Upadhayay. I am a student at Georgia Tech and a cofounder of Effective Altruism at Georgia Tech.
I wanted to see if the individuals in the rationality community of Atlanta would like to schedule a call with the organizers of EA at GT since there is overlap between the rationalist and Effective Altruism circles.
Let me know by emailing me, and I can send you our calendly link so we can schedule a call! Thank you!
Sorry – just saw this – I will be in touch soon.
