Discussion article for the meetup : Brussels meetup
During this meetup we will continue discussing our beliefs, using puzzles to improve creative thinking, and brainstorming about what makes an effective group. Should you arrive late we will have moved to the cafeteria, just go straight once you're past the entrance, you can't miss it. If you are in the neighborhood, consider dropping by.

My main goals will be to
- make a presentation on social rules, origins and efficiency
- update of my beliefs page.
- get my list of heuristics http://fabien.benetou.fr/pub/home/Heuristics.html challenged (either logic or references) or confirmed (references).
It could also be interesting to explore :

- In Praise of Doubt: How to Have Convictions Without Becoming a Fanatic (2010) http://www.harpercollins.com/book/index.aspx?isbn=9780061778179

Was great!
Next meetup the 19th of May same place (Museum of Natural Sciences Rue Vautier 29 B-1000 Brussels) and time (12:00).
Maybe the mandatory reading list this time could include http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/sb2i5/my_mom_just_told_me_that_squirrels_lay_eggs_whats/ ;)

In which language is the meeting going to be? Also how much would parking cost?

I called the museum and they said the parking in front of the museum is free, but not that big. There are two public parking places (here you DO have to pay) nearby:
Jourdanplaats / Place Jourdan
Parking Forte Dei Marmi, Avenue du Maelbeek, Etterbeek

Note: The meetup will be held at 12:00 local time, NOT 11:00 like the post says.
For some reason the it insists on saying 11:00am no matter how many times I change it back. This might have something to do with the time automatically correcting for the change to summer time this weekend. I'll check back when summer time is in effect and make the (possibly) necessary adjustments.
EDIT: summer time was not causing the problem, weird.
