Hi Sophronius, good to hear you’re joining! Effective altruism concerns a really wide area of topics, so I can’t predict what we will be talking about. But one surely doesn’t have to be an expert in all of those topics to join the conversation.
I would just like to note -for the sake of anyone who reads this but didn’t go- that i thought it went quite well. 9 people showed up and we talked about a variety of subjects including altruism and ethics but also less wrong material in general and how to create more of a rationalist community in the netherlands. I would encourage everyone to come to the next meeting! (Which will be a few weeks from now i think)
