Food for thought: Build your own utopia!

Please note that this event is also advertised elsewhere and will happen even if only a small number of people sign up via Meetup.

Food for Thought is a series of events, where we discuss philosophical and practical questions of EA in small groups over a drink: We are exploring effective altruism one bite at a time (at the moment, it's rather one sip at a time, until we've found an indoor location that allows us to bring food). EA newcomers are welcome; studying the suggested material is encouraged but not required, please RSVP.

## Topic

We are back with another round of "build your own utopia"! Sometimes we get all bogged down in the nitty gritty of definitions, utility and thinking at the margin. While these discussions are important and define EA, we would like to put all these details aside for one evening and paint our EA utopia with broad brush strokes. Just to see what kind of world we would like to build if our resources were, for once, not limited.

We will bring all kind of metrics and want to discuss with you where on these axes we should end up in our utopia. We are looking forward to a lively and creative discussion :)

This time there is no text to read as a preparation. If you want to prepare something, think about a metric you would like to discuss. Maybe you've always wanted to get others' opinion wether the ideal world would be more paternalistic or more egalitarian or maybe you are more interested in the question wether utopia should have more or less marshmallows in it. Anything that might kick-start a great discussion about the utopian state of the world is welcome.
## Where/How/What

Since it's probably still too cold for a picnic in the park, we are going to meet at Atopia. It is easy to reach via Ringbahn (Prenzlauer Allee), M10 (Prenzlauer Allee/Danziger Staße) or M2 (Fröbelstraße). Unfortunately, it is not possible to bring snacks to the venue (if someone knows a nice caffee/bar, where we could bring snacks, please reach out to us!).

## What to bring

Some change to buy a drink - they don't accept card payment at Atopia.
