We’re a discussion group with a focus on rationality, philosophy, science, technology, skepticism and ethics. We choose members who are friendly, intellectually curious, intelligent, non-religious, and rationally-minded – meaning that we’re more interested in figuring out the truth together than in proving ourselves right, or in arguing for the sake of arguing. Our members are young, almost all in the range of 20 to 35 years old. Our meetings are usually informal group discussions at someone’s a …
A wonderful introduction to newer ideas based on nonlinear dynamics, as well as knowledge from a large number of areas. Powerful non-classical ideas for thinking about complexity, emergence, self-organizing systems, complex adaptive systems, wicked problems.While the universe is nonlinear, linear thinking has dominated Western thought until the last few decades due in part to a lack of tools and ideas to deal with complexity. However, a revolutionary paradigm shift began forming in math and sc …

This group is for readers of the two blogs Less Wrong and Overcoming Bias in the NYC area to meet up and have discussions. Generally, these are blogs about the topic of rationality: how to believe true things, and how to accomplish your goals. Anyone who is interested in rationality should come to the meetups, although it helps if you have read the two blogs to have common ground.

I would like to assemble a small group of people who relate to most of the following: * Intellectually curious. * Critical thinker * Engaged in a long-term hobby/passion(s) * Active/Fit/Healthy. * You value financial security * Not excessively materialistic. * Happy/content with life (Is this redundant, in light of the above?) Unlike NYC, suburbia offers few worthwhile opportunities to expand one's social circle. Unearthing like-minded people around here is even harder. I welco …

We offer two monthly groups here, as well as occasional special events. The first is the monthly Ex-Christian Support group specifically for ex-Christians (or Christians in the process of leaving the faith) from all denominations. Leaving Christianity can be painful, confusing, and isolating, and the repercussions can be far-ranging throughout life, well after the event. We come together to share our feelings and personal experiences. I act as a non-professional facilitator (I am not a psych …

ATHEISTS GROUP WHOSE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. FOR DETAILS: WWW.NYC-ATHEISTS.ORG
Tour the universe. Drop in any week. The universe is a big place, but my class is ongoing, and I am up to the challenge. It takes 2-3 years for me to do a round trip. With live links to the Wide World Web as my in-class resource, I have an unlimited supply of mind expanding pictures and movies to discuss. Plus digital universe simulations that I run of the Earth's place in the galaxy, and the galaxy's place in the universe. For example, on the tour of the Universe, we started in close, zoo …
