A meetup for members of the rationalist diaspora, including but not limited to LessWrong, Astral Codex Ten, rationalist tumblrsphere, and parts of the Effective Altruism movement. You don’t have to identify as a rationalist to attend: if you think we seem like interesting people you’d like to hang out with, welcome! You are invited. You do not need to think you are clever enough, or interesting enough, or similar enough to the rest of us, to attend. You are invited. This time we'll have Robin Hanson as a guest, giving a talk on Cultural Drift: "Our Big Oops - How We Broke Humanity’s Superpower, And Can’t See How To Fix It." Hanson is an American economist and author. He is associate professor of economics at George Mason University and a former research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University. Hanson is known for his work on idea futures and markets, and he was involved in the creation of the Foresight Institute’s Foresight Exchange and DARPA’s FutureMAP project. He invented market scoring rules like LMSR (Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule): used by prediction markets such as Consensus Point (where Hanson was Chief Scientist), and has conducted research on signalling. He also proposed the Great Filter hypothesis. Doors open 6pm, talk + Q&A 7pm-8pm, socializing from 8pm

The unconference topics can be any of the general QRI topics: consciousness research, psychedelics, meditation, neuroscience, philosophy.

PaperJam Game Jam is like a book club, but instead of a book we play a videogame, and as well as discussing it, we make paper prototypes inspired by it! This time, we’re looking at Live Scream: “Navigate a haunted forest with chat as your eyes. You don’t see anything, but chat does. They see something, in the distance. Are you sure you want to know?” All are welcome, but some basic familiarity with boardgames or game design will be helpful.
