Scott, loved your opendemocracy article! Very well written!
Gleb did a good job summarizing progress on running Giving Games with secular audiences, which I’m really excited about.
Lots of other good news to report on the GG front. Cafelow’s week running GG in New Zealand was indeed epic, here’s hoping her EA course comes to fruition!
I also got two inquiries last week that could signal the next stage of growth for GG (though we’re in preliminary stages of conversation in both cases, so no guarantee that either will come to fruition). So far, we’ve run GG with a few classes or student groups at a given school. It’s great to reach some students that way, but we really want to be reaching entire student bodies. Now people are looking to do just that. One person reached out to me about a campus wide GG (co-sponsored by the school) and the second reached out about building GG into a mandatory curriculum for 2nd year students at another school. If all goes well, these GG would reach ~1800 and ~2500 students respectively!
Integrating GGs into the school curriculum sounds exciting, very nice development! Regarding Secular GGs, I was really enthused by that secular GG in the Atheist Seattle Church where members insisted on contributing their own money, what a nice sign of a really moving experience!
