Specific quotes:

• “I think I got a job, pending follow up!”
• “I really enjoyed volunteering & meeting the organising team. Y’all are really cool!”
• “The people” x a lot
• “Two things: 1) Having an IRL venue/forum for making a bunch of new friends. Late nights in the Bayes Attic have literally changed my life for the better through the friendships I've made.

2. Having the opportunity to experiment with creating a prediction market-based comedy night. I tempered my expectations out of fear but that was entirely unnecessary. I was amazed by not only how many people showed up but also how many attendees came prepared with material. It's become a core memory.”

• “The first time in my life I could engage in deep, productive and meaningful conversations with virtually anyone at an event. This event singlehandedly made me appreciate the rationalist community more deeply.”
• Agnes Callard (to Rachel in conversation): conversations here are much more intellectual than at philosophy conferences
