Welcome back!

The Fall Semester is once again upon us and the Bayesian Conspiracy is back. I'm going to start this year off by sharing some of the lessons I learned at Rationality Boot Camp. Lessons applied from micro-economics and how to actually use the much vaunted Bayes' Theorem in your day to day life. I've been busy with promoting and organizing the volunteers for the Singularity Summit, a large conference to be held October 15-16. Let me know if you think it looks cool (and we haven't talked about it already).

This week we're going to be going through the first few lessons in Anna Salamon's rationality exercises. Basic mental habits for using rationality in day to day life.

Choose well,
