Hey everyone,
Imagine a debate where
- no arguments are ignored
- all questions are answered
- and at the end, all people agree
(Or at least actually know why they disagree.)
Is this possible? Maybe!
Georg Jähnig will be holding a workshop on Yes/No debate. It's a simple ruleset for running an effective debate with another person on any disagreement you may have, either spoken or written.
If you want to prepare/cheat: Read his forum post on it and make up your mind about the EA-related ideas listed in this form – we will use them as debating prompts.
You're very welcome, even if you’ve never been to a meetup, or you feel like you don't fit in. Here is the link to our last event, maybe you know some people already: Tell Culture (EA Shenanigans)
Time: The workshop starts at 19:00, feel free to arrive by 18:30. Afterward, there will be time for socializing[1].
Food: I'll bring pita bread, vegetables and dips.
Location: The Chaos Computer Club Berlin can comfortably fit about 20 people. Please RSVP so we know how many to expect.
Directions (German): https://berlin.ccc.de/page/anfahrt[2]
Please contact __nobody if you have any questions about the location.
Note: This won't matter for newcomers, but we're meeting on the third Tuesday of the month from now on.
