Ginsbergâs poem famously begins âI saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madnessâ. I am luckier than Ginsberg. I got to see the best minds of my generation identify a problem and get to work.

Usually classes (especially entry-level) are in German, which is a big hurdle. Universities can decide themselves to offer courses in English and set requirements for English and German levels (at the beginning or some point of the degree). Malengo researches the details (which might change year to year) for their own strategy and to support the students in finding a fitting degree.
University is relatively cheap (state-run universities are subsidized heavily), but foreign students donât get any other support (Germans do) and have to prove a source of income/âsufficient wealth for their visum.
I donât know the mechanics for working visas and permanent residency, but Iâd expect it to be relatively easy for someone who did their degree here.

Thatâs not what I asked: In percentage points, how likely do you think you are right (and people who value e.g. GHWB over Animal Welfare are wrong)?
IIRC studies show itâs easier to motivate people to give more than to shift existing donations.
How sure are you are right and the other EA (who has also likely thought carefully about their donations) is wrong, though?
Iâm much more confident that I will increase the impact of someoneâs donation /â spending if they are not in EA, rather than being too convinced of my own opinion and causing harm (by negative side effects, opportunity costs or lowering the value of their donation).
Start and end time are not readable for me when creating and editing events in dark mode.
Is that just me?
