Agree with Luis’s sentiment. Unless we put in more thought about how to indoctrinate the uninitiated, posting it on meetup/eventbrite presents the risk of devolving this into just another social gathering. However, maybe it’s worth it to run the risk and potentially evangelize at least one person 😁
So, I think we should post it up there, but make it explicit that if you join, it’s because you’re curious about this. We can just post some links to intros and explanations about EA/ACX.

I agree with this approach. If we expect more people who are into ACX for the next meetup, there is also less risk of the meetup going badly, because the fraction of people not interested in EA/Rationality will tend to be lower.
