**Virtual Event** Workshop: What does the world look like if we/you win?


Details
“What does the world look like if you/we win?” A Workshop
Bring your ideas, goals, visions, and optimism. Could be anything from modest reforms to ambitious sci-fi scenarios.
- Is it feasible in your lifetime?
- Do you know concretely how you or others could contribute today?
- Does it seem like other people think your vision sounds good?
It’s OK to use this event to plug a specific policy goal you’re making progress on. It’s also OK to use this event to pontificate about what you think “justice” really is. If you like, take this opportunity to be unrealistic: if you think free ponies, chocolate, sunshine, and rainbows are the only way to maximize utility, don’t shy away from saying it!
The purpose is for participants to come away with:
- Practice articulating their dreams and goals
- Finding weakspots and criticism
- Practice computing instrumental values from these terminal values
- Bringing tacit and ambient concepts like "justice", "fairness", "postscarcity", "goodness" into the explicit.
Suggested Reading: "Terminal Values and Instrumental Values" by Eliezer Yudkowsky (https://bit.ly/2YcmKSN)
