The second annual world meeting of Doubt the Experts was held on July 28, 2015, and no additional meetings are currently scheduled for the remainder of this year. The only attendee other than me was John, the expat translator who currently resides in Switzerland. The meeting was held at the bar at American Flatbread in Middlebury, where we chatted and consumed beer for a little over an hour. Since I drank two pints, John advised me to take a short walk before driving home, but I told him that that wouldn't be necessary.
Of course, I'm kidding, and the only reason John was in Middlebury was that his family happens to gather here every summer. However, there appear to be a few more regular blog readers other than my family members, and some of them may also like to meet me during their travels at some point in the future. This blog is currently semi-anonymous, but I will respond to any e-mails I receive at doubttheexperts@gmail.com if you would ever like to contact me directly for any reason. Whether or not you ever plan to come to Middlebury, I am always interested in your opinions and suggestions.
Darn, missed the annual meeting…if I attended I could have taken the minutes. Thanks for the post and if I am ever your way I shall email you to set up an ad hoc meeting to discuss all our favourite topics of AI, capitalism, democracy decay and disillusionment. I look forward to it !
ReplyDeleteI'll probably be ranting about something or other for at least another twenty years, so we may indeed have a chance to meet someday.
DeleteI hope to share the rants on a daily basis for at least twenty years.
ReplyDeleteThis year the clan gathering included only my parents and me. And it's held just over the Weybridge line rather than in Middlebury.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the beers. Next year I'll cover the costs of the annual meeting.
John
Good to see you again, John. Next year I don't think you'll have to worry about having to rent a convention hall.
DeleteShame you cannot run for President, but at least your president of our club!
