Effective Altruism Netherlands

Informal Discussion

Apr 5, 2014 · 5:00 PM
De Winkel van Sinkel

Our last meetup went well and we hope to keep the momentum growing.

As of yet, we have no specific agenda items. Thus, if you have a topic in the Less Wrong / Effective Altruism / rationality scope, please add a comment below.

Since this group is still rather young and informal, we'll use the opportunity to meet each other, share opinions on EA/LW and share our desires for what we want the group to become. There will also be plenty of semi-serious discussion over relevant issues.

Feel welcome if you are are just curious about the concept or already have a lot of experience with it.

If you have any trouble finding us, you can call/sms me at[masked]-4214.

I will prepare an introduction for a discussion about ethical career choice. I think that's an important topic that many of us are thinking about.
To get a high quality discussion, please have a look at http://80000hours.org/ before the meetup to see what it's about. 80.000hours is an organisation that does research and helps people to have a high impact career.

This article on[masked]hours proposes career options.
http://80000hours.org/blog/314-in-which-career-can-you-make-the-most-difference

Questions that may be discussed:
- How do you build career capital (e.g. useful skills)?
- How do you plan a high impact career?
- How do you find a balance between making the world a better place on and your own hapiness?
...
- What would you like to know? How can we help you?
