SSC 聚会将在 77 个城市（和一艘船！）的 23 个国家举行，比去年多得多。本文列出了所有城市的聚会时间和地点，并提供了一些过去聚会经验的建议，包括如何组织聚会、如何让聚会更有趣以及如何让参与者更容易找到彼此。

🤔 **SSC 聚会将在 77 个城市（和一艘船！）的 23 个国家举行，比去年多得多。** 对于那些犹豫不决的人来说，大多数人表示他们很享受参加聚会。大多数感到害怕参加聚会的人表示他们很享受参加聚会。大多数感到自己与 SSC 平均读者差异太大而无法融入的人表示他们很享受参加聚会。大多数担心自己不够聪明而无法融入的人表示他们很享受参加聚会。等等。

🤝 **本文提供了一些过去聚会经验的建议，包括如何组织聚会、如何让聚会更有趣以及如何让参与者更容易找到彼此。** 例如，建议主持人带一个写着“SSC 聚会”的标牌，并将其放在桌子上；带上空白标签和笔，用于制作姓名标签；让每个人填写一张纸，上面写上他们的姓名和电子邮件地址，以便你开始建立邮件列表，以便更容易组织未来的聚会。

🗓️ **文章还提到了几个城市聚会的时间和地点信息需要确认。** 例如，布里斯班的时间不清楚；波特兰没有提供可读的信息；哥本哈根应该结束他们关于是否将聚会搬到其他地方的辩论；巴黎有一个奇怪的电话号码，其中包含文字。

🚀 **文章还提到了一个名为 reciprocity.io 的网站，它是一个理性主义者交友/约会网站。** 该网站运行在 Facebook 上，因此你必须先在 Facebook 上加对方为好友。

🎉 **文章还建议在聚会结束时组织一个“有趣”的“活动”，例如让参与者进行简短的演讲或讨论某个特定的博客文章。** 但是，文章也指出，除非有明确的“谢林点”来确定谁来做这件事，否则什么都不会完成。

🥳 **文章最后建议主持人带一些“刺激玩具”，因为很多人会因此而永远爱你。**

Thanks to everyone who offered to host a meetup. We’re scheduled for meetups in 77 cities (and one ship!) in 23 countries, soundly beating last year’s list. Full list of cities, times, and places is below.

Most people who are on the fence have said they’ve enjoyed going. Most people who felt intimidated about going have said they’ve enjoyed going. Most people who felt they were too different from the median SSC reader to fit in have enjoyed going. Most people who worried they weren’t smart enough to fit in have enjoyed going. Etc. Some tips from past experience with these meetups:

1. If you’re the host, bring a sign that says “SSC MEETUP” and prop it up somewhere on a table 2. Bring blank labels and pens for nametags. 3. Pass around a paper where everyone gives their name and email address, so you can start a mailing list to make organizing future meetups easier 4. If it’s the first meetup, people are probably just going to want to talk, and if you try to organize some kind of “fun” “event” it’ll probably just be annoying. 5. Some things that have worked for later meetups include people giving short presentations on topics of interest to them, or discussion of some particular blog post 6. Nothing is going to get done unless there’s a Schelling point for who has to do it, and right now that’s the meetup organizer. 7. It’s much easier to schedule a second meetup while you’re having the first compared to trying to do it later on by email 8. Surprisingly many people will love you forever if you bring stim toys 9. In case people want to get to know each other better outside the meetup, you might want to mention reciprocity.io, the rationalist friend-finder/dating site. It runs off Facebook, so you have to Facebook friend the other person first. 10. If you have a vague location like “in the mall” or “at the North Park”, nobody will ever find each other. Give a specific place (eg “at the North Park, by the big oak tree in the northwest corner”) and be carrying a sign saying “SSC MEETUP”. If you were too vague in your description, comment with a better one and I can edit it in.

Remaining issues with the times and dates: – Brisbane’s time was unclear; please confirm I got it right – Portland did not provide readable information (seriously, ROT12?!) and will have to be clearer and give a location – Copenhagen should finish their debate about whether to move the meetup somewhere else – Paris has a weird phone number with words in it. I don’t know if this is a mistake or just how French phone numbers work
