Help re:Less Wrong Meetup please?

Hi Everyone,

I've been conducting a LW meetup in West Sydney. had 3 somewhat succesful sessions. Covered the following topics:

1. What is rationality? Who uses it? Why be less wrong?

2. Map and Territroy

3. Belief: functions, proper and imporper and other things pertaining.

I'm wondering what would be a good topic for the next session, so any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm finding whilst people enjoy the conversations for the most part, they find it hard to make it applicable and marry it back to real life situations.

Any ideas on how I can help communicate that what we study and do at the meet up is relevant and applicable in their day to day lives? And what would be a good topic to do this on?

I get the feeling this will require people to sort of open up and share themselves with the group. Any good ways of cultivating that type of environment?

 

Thanks in advance.
