January Sunday 28, 2pm Less Wrong meetup

[Timothy Underwood]

So we are at last doing another meetup, the first since our November Thinksgiving.

Location my apartment:

January 28, 2 pm

66/b/1 Ulloi Ut

Floor 6, door 3

Ring 27

Milan suggested three articles to read and discuss for the event, two of which are short stories. All of them from lesswrong.com

Argument that gene editing can be used to enormously enhance the intelligence of current adults -- I have skepticism that it could be pushed nearly as far as the article suggests, but might be fun to read.
