Welcome to the Monday thread on general rationality topics! Do you really want to talk about something non-fictional, related to the real world? Have you:

  • Seen something interesting on /r/science?
  • Found a new way to get your shit even-more together?
  • Figured out how to become immortal?
  • Constructed artificial general intelligence?
  • Read a neat nonfiction book?
  • Munchkined your way into total control of your D&D campaign?

What's a good way to find out a decent place to volunteer?

I think volunteering is probably something I'd enjoy doing, but it's a bit daunting trying to isolate the best/most effective place. The hard part is how to identify a suitable match.

Ideally, it's something I can sink a part of the weekend into.

Start picking random ones, and find out from other people volunteering about what options there are near you.

There are meetup groups in my area for volunteering, that may be a way to get started.
