Scott Alexander gentrified my meetup

On 10 April 2026, I organized an ACX/LW/rationality meetup. Initially, I intended for it to be just our regular meetup, and “regular” for Zagreb is between 3 and 10 people having a couple of beers. Skyler of Rationality Meetups contacted me saying that Scott would be in Zagreb in April, and we coordinated so that the meetup could accommodate Scott’s schedule. At first, I thought, man, this is serious now. I’ll have to actually reserve a table. Once the “Going” RSVPs started coming in, I was like: shit, this is even serious now. I’m going to have to reserve two tables.
