2018 Bay Area Solstice Review

A bulleted recap of the 2018 Bay Area Rationalist Solstice: praise for the planetarium and kids' room, a gripe about mangling his 'Goddess of Everything Else' poem's meter, the year being darker/less thematically coherent, and community-color asides (the 'CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ADHD' one). Warm, ephemeral.

Quality 50 · Solid. Solid, mid: an observant but slight event recap in the #personal community-memoir vein, like the NYC Solstice notes. 50.

Claude’s paradigm shift 30 · Slight. Slight: a recap, no novelty. 30.

Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. A community event writeup; no reach. RWI 1.

Humor 1/5 · Lizardman’s Constant. Gate at 1 (Lizardman): funny asides (the ADHD one, the Latin-oratory brag), but the mode is recap. 1.
