According to a 2010 unscientific internet survey, over 5% of LessWrong users have Asperger syndrome, which is maybe 25 times more than the general population.

I know, I know. On a website that's all about hyper-rationality and breaking down social interactions into their game theory origin in order to design an AI that can do them better? Shocking.

In this month's meetup (what little of it we'll spend being on-topic), we will discuss what a boring world it would be if we were all the same, and how to rephrase this saying to appeal to people who think boring is good.


We will meet at 1 pm at "La Fleur en papier doré", close to the Brussels Central station. Depending on the weather, we may also spend some time outside. The meeting will be in English to facilitate both French and Dutch speaking members.

Meetup announcements are also mirrored on meetup.com
