Join us in organizing a more active community. The community core consists of community members who organize events, manage directories (such as this one), and provide many of the community services that you see here.The community core is also learning how to build tight-knit groups of motivated people. Please reach out to Oliver Habryka for more details.
Work, chat and hang out with other community members at Cafe La Renaissance on Saturday afternoons. There will be coffee, conversations about various philosophical topics and interesting people. Everybody is welcome, and it is explicitly encouraged to come if you don't identify as a rationalist, or bring friends with you who have no idea what this is all about.
The Schelling Point starts at 3PM every Saturday and continues until people leave.
The Bayesian Choir welcomes any new members who have experience in singing and want to sing cool songs with cool people. They meet once every two weeks in the East Bay. Join the google group if you want to know the details. - Productivity Systems
