I thought I'd run the listening exercise I'd like to see.
- Get popular suggestions
- Run a polis poll
- Make a google doc where we research consensus suggestions/ near consensus/consensus for specific groups
- Poll again
Stage 1
Give concrete suggestions for community changes. 1 - 2 sentences only.
Upvote if you think they are worth putting in the polis poll and agreevote if you think the comment is true.
Agreevote if you think they are well-framed.
Aim for them to be upvoted. Please add suggestions you'd like to see.
I'll take the top 20 - 30
I will delete/move to comments top-level answers that are longer than 2 sentences.
Stage 2
Polis poll here: https://pol.is/5kfknjc9mj
It felt like attending parties in the past was somewhat good for me (though not as much as I expected before I started going to more parties) for keeping up to date on what is going on and what various people (including people who are otherwise too busy/intimidating for me to schedule one-on-ones with) thought about topics of my interest. If I went to zero EA parties, I guess I would be at a disadvantage compared to people who are similarly competent but go harder on networking.
