EAGx 2018 Netherlands: Complexity science and computational modelling Mar 09, 2019

Show notes

The world is very complicated, and so is improving it. Some things are possible to research directly, but there isn’t sufficient data to answer many important questions. In these cases, we may want to use computational modelling, to learn more about complex systems through abstract analysis. In this talk from EAGx Netherlands 2018, Max Stauffer describes what complexity science and computational modelling have to offer EA.

EAG 2018 SF: Why should effective altruists embrace uncertainty? Mar 08, 2019

Show notes

Probabilistic thinking is only a few centuries old, we have very little understanding on how most of our actions affect the long-term future, and prominent members of the effective altruism community have changed their minds on crucial considerations before. These are just three of the reasons that Will MacAskill urges effective altruists to embrace uncertainty, and not become too attached to present views. This talk was the closing talk for Effective Altruism Global 2018: San Francisco.

EAG 2018 SF: How biology has changed Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

When biological research was mostly done through academia, regulation of NIH funding was enough to keep things secure. But as biohacking becomes more prevalent, regulatory law hasn’t kept pace. As biological tinkering becomes feasible for mere interested hobbyists or small corporations, we’ll need policy work to prevent catastrophe and protect the promise of a biology innovation renaissance. This lightning talk, given by Tessa Alexanian, was recorded at Effective Altruism Global 2018: San Francisco.

EAG 2018 SF: Force multiplication Mar 02, 2019
