Effective Altruism Netherlands

Famine, Affluence and Morality

The Dutch community is just getting organized so we are keeping it informal to begin with. This is our 4th meetup since November and this time we want to discuss this awesome and famous essay "Famine, Affluence and Morality" by Peter Singer:

(The first half contains the most important info. Here's the wiki link about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famine,_Affluence,_and_Morality)

Other effective altruism and rationality topics are welcome too of course. Especially if you have any specific questions to discuss, please bring them up :)

Humans of all involvements in Effective Altruism are welcome.

Helly everyone,

I already did this request by email, but will try here once more. I really would like to attend the meeting tomorrow, but as I mentioned, I have a birthday party. For this reason I was wondering if we can hold the meeting earlier, say, around 17.00? This well enable me to attend.

  I will definitely be there at 17:00 and I think Devin wants to come at that time as well right? Everyone on the mailing list is notified that they can join us at 17 and everyone here is invited to come earlier as well if they want to!! See you all tomorrow!

We will probably be sitting in at right site of the café. That's where we were last time anyway. It's behind a wall, not in the main part. If you can't find us you can call me at +31684140766.

Also, we've made a facebook group for members of this meetup: https://www.facebook.com/groups/262932060523750/

  Dinner is available but not everybody will eat, so it's up to you. See you Saturday.

I'd also really love to join but I have to work. Weekday nights are best for me.
