Cafe Meetup 8/30: Worldmodel Testing with Taboo

Taboo is a board game, but also a rationalist exercise that tests your whether your worldmodel is well-connected and deep, allowing you to find many relationships between domains and avoiding compartmentalization. The way the game works, you are required to get others to say a target word, while also avoiding the ones on a “prohibited” list.

We’ve found the PlayTaboo site to be a good source of material for playing with, so be ready to pull it up to get prompts.  We’ll break into smaller groups if necessary.
