What we’re about
About:
Welcome to the hub for all things in Bend related to effective altruism and rationality — aka BEAR!
Effective altruism is about using reason and evidence to do the most good we can with our limited resources.
In the rationality community, we aspire to improve our reasoning and decision-making and address the biases that prevent us from holding true beliefs and accomplishing our goals.
Please feel free to come out, even if, like many of us, you feel awkward, feel that you're not the typical rationalist or effective altruist, are worried that people won't like you, are just curious, or have read this far, etc.
Events:
For now this page is here to gauge interest. Once there's sufficient interest, all events will be posted here on Meetup, on our public calendar, and sent out from our mailing list. If you have any other questions, please message me anytime here on Meetup or at srh3161@gmail.com.
