What will we do?

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality (HPMoR) is a work of fiction by Eliezer Yudkowksy that is hugely popular in the rationality community and for many people the first point of contact. We will present the work and jointly discover and discuss it. No previous knowledge of HPMoR is expected.
