Podcast Club IRL: Julia Galef on the Scout Mindset
Details
This week's location: Mission Delores Park.
We will aim to meet closest to 18th St and Dolores St behind the tennis courts but the host will aim to secure the largest open space available. Look out for a dark green trap off of 18th street, and a dude in a grey shirt and grey baseball hat.
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BEFORE ATTENDING THE EVENT. If you find you're unable to do so, please instead join one of our future events when you're able to prepare so that we can all be engaged in the discussion.

What's this week's podcast about?
Vox's Dylan Matthews talks with Julia Galef, host of the podcast Rationally Speaking, and author of The Scout Mindset: Why Some People See Things Clearly and Others Don't. They discuss how we can overcome the ways our own minds deceive us and change the way we think to make more rational decisions.

What's a podcast club?
It's like a book club for podcasts. Each week we discuss an episode from podcasters like Sam Harris, Ezra Klein, or Michael Shermer. We start off as a large group and spend most of the time chatting in smaller groups. Our conversations are casual and open. We encourage everyone to speak freely, respectfully, and concisely. To do this we try to adhere to Grice's Maxims: https://bit.ly/2p4uSQm
Ultimately, the idea is to help each other think a little differently, learn a thing or two and have some fun.
