Rationality Café No. 6 - The Sequences, Part 1; Section B Repeat

Hey gang -
We're doing another one of our sporadic but hugely enjoyable meetups.

If you'd like to attend, we're asking you to read the last 4 chapters in part B of the first book of The Sequences before you attend, so that we can discuss our thoughts on them at the Cafe. It's almost exactly like a book club.

The chapters we want you to read are:
Religion’s Claim to be Non-Disprovable
Professing and Cheering
Belief as Attire
Applause Lights

If you don't know what the Sequences are, think of them like a collection of daily blog posts which together form a pretty reliable backbone for improving your thinking and being more rational.

You can find the stuff you need to read here https://www.readthesequences.com/Fake-Beliefs-Sequence

You can also find it for free as an audiobook podcast wherever you get podcasts from (Try searchin for "Rationality: From AI to Zombies")

We strongly recommend reading all of the chapters.

Most likely we will finish talking about The Sequences and end up talking about other topics; Less Wrong, Current Affairs, Slate Star Codex, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Worm, Free Will, Efficiency, Podcasts

We'd also be happy to move location, so if you know anywhere that's cheap and pays a legitimate level of tax, let us know.
