EA Bristol vs ACX: Urban Games + free food (+ unannounced evening plans)

Details

Have you ever done Urban Games? We have and they are great.

What are urban games? It’s a relatively novel idea which involves playing games that you might have played variations of in school, but in the city centre. Aim to be there for 14:00.
In addition, this is the month decreed that it will be Astral Codex Ten (ACX) meetup month.

What's ACX?
It's a blog focused on science, medicine (especially within psychiatry), philosophy, politics, Effective Altruism, and futurism, written by Scott Alexander, a San Francisco Bay Area psychiatrist.
What's Effective Altruism (EA)?

Effective Altruism is a philosophy and social movement that applies evidence and reason to determining the most effective ways to improve the world.
Bring stuff that’s comfortable to run in. We won’t be making you run marathons but probably more than just the odd sprint.
If you want a taster, one game we will be playing is Assassin – everyone gets a person to assassinate by putting a sticker on their back. Then you both have to hunt the victim’s target. Eventually, you have the whole group trying to track one person down. It’s more straightforward than it sounds, and a huge amount of fun.
We’ll be meeting at entrance closet to Tesco Express in the Galleries - https://plus.codes/9C3VFC45+RJM play a few games and then have lunch, paid for by generous ACX Donation
Later in the evening we may have a night at an exclusive, secret video game bar in Bristol - more on this as it develops

How can we make the world a better place?
Which charities do the most good?
What are the biggest risks facing
humanity and what can we do about it?
Effective Altruism is a philosophy and social movement that applies evidence and reason to determining the most effective ways to improve the world.
