For American EAs who are LGBT/queer: I think we should begin having discussions about how the Trump administration will affect us (non-queer people would also be allowed to participate), and whether we want to leave or stay, as well as where we want to go to. I think there are factors to take into account (like impact, community, and career potential) that would be better for an EA-focused group to look at. It would also be nice to have a group that is shielded from the fearmongering of the general public. I might make a larger post or start a Groupchat for this, so if you are or know anyone who would be interested, you can comment or message me about it and we can get in touch. (I need to get my life priorities in order, so I will not be doing this now.) Personally, I will not yet be leaving the United States, but I want to be ready to leave if things get dangerous enough. I wouldn’t normally post something this politically divisive, but the possible urgency and threat posed to people needs to be assessed seriously.

The only problem is that no one knows what this means. Something easy would be to enter the definition on Urban Dictionary. I tried, but I am having server issues right now.
An add on to that: If you’ve explored education, have you explored non-traditional methods of education, like Montessori?
Could you explain to me how you think Biden resigning would be positive?
I don’t think I will write these posts very soon, but I want to get my ideas out there so that others can help write them if I don’t.
A post on the problem of language barriers
How auxiliary languages could help make EA more accessible to people who don’t speak English
How political action against artificial intelligence might slow down its development
Associative morality
This concerns how connections between ideas in people’s brains could be relevant to moral philosophy, or at least convincing people of new ideas.
Business ethics and its relevance to different problem areas
If you make any posts based on my ideas, please let me know so I can give you feedback.
Where do I apply for the East Coast Convention specifically?
