I missed this Quillette article – or forgot it – when it came out less than
a year ago. I followed up on some of the
links, and found the Ben Franklin Circles and
Better-Angels discussions the more interesting. Those
who read Scott Alexander’s Slate Star Codex likely know about his Rationalist
meet-ups Less Wrong (a great name) already. The rest of the links lead to organisations
that seem less-active. A lot of people must have the sense this would be a good
idea, but somehow they don’t find it easy to stay afloat. That is rather sad in
itself. There didn’t seem much local to New England,
but I would be interested in participating.
I think such things need to be structured and moderated at present.
