A bunch of EA’s explore different non-EA perspectives for X number of weeks then each participant writes up a blog post based on something that they learned or one place where they updated. There could also be a cohort post that contains a paragraph or two from each participant about their biggest updates.
It probably wouldn’t make sense for this to scale massively. Instead, you’d want to try to recruit skilled communicators or decision-makers such that this course could be impactful even with only a small number of participants.
Rethinking EA Fellowship
Get a bunch of smart young EA’s from different backgrounds into the same room for two weeks. In the first week, ask them to rethink EA/the EA community from the ground up taking into account how the situation has shifted since EA was founded.
During the second week, bring in a bunch of experienced EA’s who can share their thoughts on why things are the way that they are. The young EA’s can then revise their suggestions taking their feedback into account.
Alternate Positive Vision Competition
We had a criticism competition before. Unfortunately, only a small proportion of the criticism seemed valuable (no offense to anyone!) and too much criticism creates a negative social environment. So what I’d love to propose as an alternative would be a competition to craft an alternate positive vision.
