This seems cool.
I think people should ideally do a lot of experimentation, running a bunch of EA events in different formats and reporting back on how they seemed to go. I like something of the spirit of the Socrates cafe, and hope it gets tried a few times!
Thanks, Owen. I agree that this approach lends itself to a lot of experimentation. While the “usual” approach (often) doesn’t lend itself to a final consensus at the end of a session, I think doing this with a more defined purpose for EA participants would be relatively straightforward. I have some thoughts on how to best execute it, perhaps including a survey element for participants before and after a session or sessions. If you’re interested in more particulars and nuances, I would be happy to share thoughts and ideas on a call or other correspondence.
I participated in an activity of this sort some years ago. I really enjoyed the structured conversation, and working towards consensus in a group. The experience was way more intense than any other context of presentation or debate that I have been a part of otherwise. I don’t know whether EA groups should use the technique, but I wanted to share from my own experience:)
hi Ryan, this is Christopher Phillips, founder of Socrates Cafe. Thanks so much for your kind words about it. I can always be reached at SocratesCafe@gmail.com thanks again
A further addition to the EA quiver would be reading groups to discuss the best books related to EA. As with the Socrates Cafe, discussions could be structured around answering a central question.
Also ripe for a survey element
