How the weekend runs
Friday
Arrive in the late afternoon, settle in, and gather for a welcome dinner and an intro-dense opening session.
Saturday
A full day: a high-contrast intro to EA, paired 1-1s, two long discussion-group blocks, breakout sessions, and dinner — with the evening left open for fun.
Sunday
More talks and discussion groups, a final synthesis to carry forward, generous 1-1 windows, and a last dinner before people head home.
Discussion topics
A sample of the bespoke questions we'll dig into in the discussion groups:
- How much should we spend on personal luxuries?
- Should we be vegans?
- Should you aggressively sell EA ideas?
- Growth vs redistribution
- How robust to threats is civilization? (natural, war, AI, bio, cyber, financial, social)
- Moral weights across species
- Is elitism a fact of life?
- How did progress happen?
- Making happy people vs making people happy
- Should we be risk neutral?
