Rational Benevolence Collaboratory, 5th meeting
Rational Benevolence Collaboratory, 5th meeting.
The Rational Benevolence Collaboratory is an intellectual experiment in which researchers collaborate to deeply re-think our solutions to the problems of widespread suffering and scarce joy.
Researchers try to suspend all ideological biases and approach these problems from a position of neutral objectivity. (They put their sacred cows out to pasture and start from scratch.) To achieve this neutral objectivity, researchers use various methods of radical premise-checking (such as the Socratic Method).
This meeting will be informal discussion of the project and getting acquainted.
Until further notice, meetings are at the West Olympia Starbucks across from the Safeway: 315 Cooper Point Road NW 101; Olympia, Washington 98502; 360-352-5616.
Below is a video ad for the RBC: "Suppose you care deeply about the world."

Sounds Interesting
I like the theory, and I agree that many of us suffer to varying degrees from an inability to think rationally about the ways of the world. Have a good meeting!
Sounds weird and culty.
Let's go Rob
It will be cool when they peel off their skin revealing themselves to be extraterrestrial sauropods. Well, cool until they eat us.
How do you know about Landmark? I had a pair of creepy experiences with Landmark but that is a topic for a different thread.
And finally, a transformational group that meets at Starbucks?
