post by wilm · 2022-09-30T10:46:24.433Z · ? · GW · 0 comments

We aim to connect Rationalists from Karlsruhe (Germany) and surrounding areas. We are always happy to get to know new people and new perspectives(!). Please feel free to drop by even if you are unsure, feel awkward about it, or are not ‘the typical LessWrong / SSC reader'.

This week again we meet online to hang out and discuss longtermism. For a background on longtermism see Scott's review of What We Owe the Future and The Precipice. More concretely, we want to discuss this article, which gives critical arguments against longtermism.

We'll follow the following schedule:

• 18:50 - 19:10: soft beginning, socializing
• introductions (in case of new attendees), Updates (what surprises did you encounter recently / what are your biggest updates? / what did you personally learn?)
• ~19:20: Article summary + Discussion
• ~20:30: open end + further discussions

We will meet on Big Blue Button on Tuesday at 19:00 o'clock. Link: here. (Room will be open before 18:50)
