It's probably a good idea to come back later.
§ What
- I learned how to play Penultimate Chess
- Someone hit me up to talk about something in Decision Theory they’d been thinking about.
- I ate the most amazing snacks I’ve encountered at an event, ever. I normally bring loads of my own snacks (mostly nuts) to events I attend (cause their ones aren’t that good)—this time I didn’t even open them.
- I attended a session on Community Building, one
§ Ground Rules
It had really good Ground Rules:
- Pacman Rule
- Discuss to learn, not to convince
- 1-on-1
- Rest
- Make it happen
- Allow be weird
