Discussion article for the meetup : LW Scotland August meetup

WHEN: 09 August 2015 02:00:00PM (+0100)

WHERE: 125 Dalry Road, EH11 2DR Edinburgh, United Kingdom

As usual, this note is a mirror of the canonical meetup note, which is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/862671740491601/

But at the time of posting, these are the details:

The August meetup will be on the ninth, in Edinburgh. We'll start at two at the Clock Cafe, on Dalry Street (http://www.clockdiner.co.uk/). At three thirty we'll move to The Haymarket, a few minutes walk away on West Maitland Street (http://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/haymarketedinburgh/).

On the agenda for this month will be - at least - this:

1 - Intros. What's the most (or least!) rational thing you did in the last month?

2 - A short Fermi estimation intro and game, by me

3 - Discussion of the next chunk of the Rationality book. That will be the interlude ("The Simple Truth"), the intro to Book II ("Rationality: an Introduction"), and then Part E ("Overly Convenient Excuses"), which is chapters 46 to 56.

Also, please note that the venues for this meetup are closer to Haymarket station than they are to Waverley station.
