‘The Sequences’ are very influential essays on rationality, let's read them! 

We'll show up, mingle, do intros, and then split off into groups for some discussion.

This event is aimed for people who are very interested in rationality and critical thinking, whether you’re new or experienced. 

This meetup will also have plant-based snacks provided. We will go out afterwards for dinner or social drinks. Please RSVP so we know how many people to expect. 

For this meetup, we're reading from the first book of the sequences highlights: Thinking Better On Purpose. 

Please do the reading beforehand. These are quite short and should take around 40 minutes to read all together. 

The meetup starts at 5:30pm. Depending on size, we'll split into discussion groups around 6:00, and finish discussion around 7:30, after which point we'll hang out as late as we feel like.

Some questions to ask yourself about the essays as you read them

• What's the most important point in the essay?

• What's the weakest point in the essay? Or what is the essay wrong about?

• Can you think of a way to apply the ideas in this essay to your own life?

For the future

We want to make this a recurring group. Join our pages to be notified of upcoming events, and let us know if you’d like to continue discussing the sequences.
