Speed Updating

Many disagreements in this world result from people just not understanding the other person’s position. So the aim is to first understand the other person’s position clearly by asking clarifying questions, or restating the other person’s position, BEFORE explaining your alternative point of view.

There could be many different reasons for disagreement, for example:

You have different information that you are working from
You have different ethical positions
Or maybe you have different interpretations of the question.

We will prepare a few statements for you to decide how much you agree or disagree with, and pair you up with others for a brief 10-minute 'Speed Update'. After each topic, we will share whether anyone has changed their mind or learned something from someone.

What is EAHK social?

EAHK's Monthly Socials aim to provide a welcoming space for everyone in the EA community to socialise and make new connections. We usually do meals, and indoor or outdoor activities such as bowling or hiking monthly. So, whether you are new to EA, or are familiar already, you are most welcome to join us.

New to Effective Altruism?

For those new to effective altruism, here are a couple of good introductions. In short, EA is about using evidence to carefully analyze how, given limited resources, we can help others better. Link: What is effective altruism?
