Food for Thought is a series of events, where we discuss philosophical and practical questions of EA in small groups over food and drinks: We are exploring effective altruism one bite at a time (at the moment, it's rather one sip at a time, until we've found an indoor location that allows us to bring food). EA newcomers are welcome; studying the suggested material is encouraged but not required, please RSVP.

Topic

Join us to explore the ethical questions around prioritising animal welfare in effective altruism. Let’s use the thought-provoking recommended article to examine how we weigh animal and human suffering and what this should mean for resource allocation. This discussion welcomes diverse perspectives on how to weigh different forms of suffering and the most effective ways to create positive change in the world.

Where

Since it's now too cold for a picnic in the park, we are going to meet at Atopia. It is easy to reach via Ringbahn (Prenzlauer Allee), M10 (Prenzlauer Allee/Danziger Staße) or M2 (Fröbelstraße).

What to bring

Some change to buy a drink - they don't accept card payment at Atopia.
