![]() ![]() For the majority of the kids at this graduation this will be maybe their 3rd or 4th highest education level achieved. Generally you would expect some correlation between the level of achievement and prestige of the speaker. It isn’t about want/not want, it is about such a ridiculously high expectations baseline. Good luck/congratulations to everyone starting/progressing in/finishing residencies this July.Īre you complaining about the practice of having ninth-grade graduations, or the practice of having Supreme Court justices speaking at them? I agree with the first ninth grade is more a step on the way to a larger achievement than an achievement in itself (though I suppose it might be different at some weird boarding schools?) But if it’s worth having, and if it’s worth having someone speak there, why shouldn’t the Chief Justice be that someone if he wants to? I hope to have a couple of meetups in relevant cities if I know where I’m going to be enough days beforehand.Ħ. Probably some decreased blogging output since I’m moving cross-country the next few weeks. If interested (either in renting the whole house with friends/family, or in just renting one room and hoping two other people want the same), email jsalvatiergmailcom and he can tell you more / help connect interested parties together.ĥ. It’s three bedrooms, one bathroom, and it costs $4100/month total. Anyway, there’s a house opening up there as the current residents leave, and we’d like to get rationalist-adjacent people to move in. I’ll be staying there temporarily when I first get to California, and I know a lot of other people on the street and they’re all pretty interesting. We’re trying to encourage that so that as many people as possible can live near each other and it can feel like more of a community. Ward Street is quickly becoming the center of the rationalist scene in Berkeley. And if you want to stay in touch with the community, there’s a Chicago Rationality Facebook page with information about meetings and stuff.Ĥ. Thanks to everyone who came to the Chicago meetup today. I’ll continue to accept useful announcements about studies and job opportunities and EA and so on, like the thing above.ģ. If you have a good link for the links page, post it on the subreddit and I’ll probably see it. Also, please don’t send me links for the link page. Usually I think that I don’t have time to read it and write up a response, but I feel guilty not doing that, so instead I just say something like “Thanks, I’ll look into that” and then I don’t. This is especially true for “Hey, what do you think about this thing I wrote?” emails. I’ve been getting a lot of emails from people here recently, which I guess is good, but I want to admit straight out that I’m not able to reply to all of them. If you’re interested, go to the Genetics Of Mathematical Ability And Autism research site.Ģ. ![]() A study on mathematical ability is looking for people without a diagnosis of autism with a degree in math, or people with a diagnosis of autism with a degree in math, physics, statistics, etc to register and do some brief online tests for them. You can also talk at the SSC subreddit, the SSC Discord server, or the Cafe Chesscourt forum. Post about anything you want, ask random questions, whatever. This is the bi-weekly visible open thread.
