Hi all, due to the low signups this time, we decided to cancel the event this time. We’ll take a break in May and we’ll be back in June with a regular schedule.
If you have any suggestions for topics, for future meetups, please let us know!

Hi Niklas, sorry for not responding! I somehow did not get any notification about this. Glad you found as anyway :)
Thank you all for joining, I hope you enjoyed it as well! My delay getting home was less severe than on the way to Atopia but still a lot more than 1 minute and today there were white patches on the grass close to the S-Bahn ^^
A couple of random points connected to yesterday’s discussion. I would be glad to hear your thoughts:
-
For me the best thing I learned yesterday was how beneficial it can actually be to discuss a question, based on the probability different people assign to a certain outcome. I hadn’t realised this before.
-
Here is an article about probabilistic reasoning that Isa and I discussed during preparation as well, maybe you’ll find it as interesting as we did: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/BWLAzZEA5K7HPr2CL/probabilities-prioritization-and-bayesian-mindset
-
And, last point: I have a question. Is anyone aware of any good research on the topic of how well humans perform when making decisions on guessed probabilities in complex cenarios where the whole state space is (other than in a game scenario) not known to anyone.

CANCELED Food for Thought 17: Christmas edition
This happened ages ago, but I finally had the time to finish a post I started after discussing possible income distributions at this event. Maybe some of you remember this discussion and find this text interesting.
Utopian Equality
Food for Thought 16: Probabilistic Reasoning
Good point, thanks! I removed it—maybe a bit late...
Hi all, I’ve removed the date and time, since I’ll move this event to September, I’ll post the new date ASAP!
Thanks for joining and for the good discussion! I hope everyone who did not join for the restaurant got home safely without getting soaked! The next Food for Thought will be at the 18. July (topic TBD) https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/events/Wcjs2D9PGAMEC3ybF/food-for-thought-14-tbd
Here we are: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PLgh2dENjosR1Ti37
Same place as last year!
Thank y’all for joining tonight! The next Food for Thought will be on the 30st of May where we’ll discuss wild animal suffering. If weather permits we’ll finally be outdoors again in the park! https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/events/L86jYHpcLADcxFHbL/food-for-thought-12-wild-animal-suffering
For obvious reasons we have to move the event indoors.
We will meet at Atopia—as we do during winter time. Sorry for the short notice but we were hoping for some miracle ;)
Atopia is easy to reach via S-Bahn or Tram.
Please note: it is not allowed to consume food in atopia.
See you tonight, we look forward to the discussion!
If you join for the first time, this is where you can find Atopia:
