Huntsville, Alabama · monthly
Light Machines
An informal meetup for people who like to read closely and think out loud—often, but not only, about posts from the rationalist corner of the internet.
Who are you?
We’re an informal meetup group that gathers once a month to discuss topics of interest. Discussion generally (but not exclusively) focuses on posts by members of the "rationalist" community such as Scott Alexander and Patrick McKenzie.
What do you guys do?
We meet up every month or so to talk about our particular nerdy interests, hang out, and occasionally learn something.
