Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Low-Commitment Less Wrong Book (EG Article) Club, published by Jeremy on February 10, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. [I did not intent to post this as a question. I can't find a way to change it. If the moderators could help with that, that would be great!] AllAmericanBreakfast brought up the idea of a low-commitment LW book club. I'd like to start the ball rolling and volunteer to at least help get it started (I am also happy for someone else to do it, but I want to make sure it happens). I invite anyone who's interested to comment below. Ideas for how it could work are also welcome. I suppose it could be as simple as a weekly link post that we comment on on the EA forum - that would certainly be low-commitment. I'm currently doing the in-depth virtual program and enjoying the Zoom discussions. Not as low-commitment, but when that ends at the end of February, I would have time to host something like a weekly Zoom discussion of an article or two. It seems like that would work best for ~5 people, so if more were interested there could be multiple Zooms with multiple hosts. And Zooms and link posts are certainly not mutually exclusive. Once I have a general idea what people are interested in, I'll setup a few polls to vote on articles, format, etc. Thanks for listening.
