Join us in VR for a watch party and discussions! Featuring “Career Strategies & Building Aptitudes,” a talk given by Habiba Islam of the Centre for Effective Altruism at EA Global: London 2021. What career strategy should you follow if you’re aiming for impact? Holden Karnofsky wrote up his perspective on career choice for longtermists on the EA forum—focusing on building aptitudes. Habiba will run through that framework and highlight some things she personally thinks are useful and some reservations she has. https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/bud2ssJLQ33pSemKH/my-current-impressions-on-career-choice-for-longtermists
First we’ll watch the talk then break out into discussions. The talk is about 25 minutes long. If you’d prefer to pre-watch this talk, you may do so here: https://youtu.be/k-PSL2n6OhI
This meetup takes place on the platform VRChat. A PC running windows or linux (with some workarounds), or a standalone Quest VR headset, is required to participate. Usage of a VR Headset is optional, but highly recommended for a more immersive experience.
