This group is for readers of the two blogs Less Wrong and Overcoming Bias in the NYC area to meet up and have discussions.

Generally, these are blogs about the topic of rationality: how to believe true things, and how to accomplish your goals.  Anyone who is interested in rationality should come to the meetups, although it helps if you have read the two blogs to have common ground.
