SKOPJE, MACEDONIA (RSVP) Contact: Qantarot, info[at]kantarot[dot]mk Time: 5:00 PM, Wednesday, December 22 Location: Rooftop of the Intertec building in Skopje (outdoor but heated and covered in case of rain). Since you'll need to be let in, RSVPing is encouraged. You can also contact me the day of the meetup at +389 seven one 890 497. Coordinates: https://w3w.co/libraries.describe.fresh Notes: I run a blog that recently spun off a foundation. In Skopje we have a small but passionate rationality community that gravitates around my blog/foundation and we would love to grow the community and raise awareness about EA / ACX.
I think Skopje is a major counterargument to Scott's claim about people preferring traditional architectural styles. Briefly, the Macedonian government decided to build a bunch of public buildings and monuments in a neo-classical style to remind everyone of their ancient heritage - it looks awful, and everyone inside and outside the country agrees that the buildings are super kitschy and shouldn't have been built.
1: We’re finally done with meetup season (except Skopje, which has one scheduled for December, but which I am officially declaring Doesn’t Count). If you organized or attended a meetup, Mingyuan would like you to fill out a survey on your experience. And thank you for bearing with the lower frequency of posts while I was in Europe.
