This is a weekly meetup to discuss and work through the Sequences while getting to know other aspiring rationalists in the Seattle area. Each week's reading list is posted in the relevant Facebook event. We usually discuss the relevant sequence posts and sometimes learn applied rationality techniques.

As the name suggests, this meetup will go over the third part of the "Mysterious Answers to Mysterious Questions" sequence. We previously covered the "Map and territory" sequence. All are welcome to join, though, even if they've read all of the sequences already or haven't yet caught up to us.

There are often snacks at the meetup, which typically runs until around 9. After that, we go get dinner on the Ave.
