Intro to Effective Altruism: A Trivia Night (Brussels)
Have you heard of effective altruism and wondered what it’s actually about? This evening is made for you.
Effective altruism (EA) is about asking a simple question: how can I do the most good with the time and money I have? It means using evidence and clear thinking to work out which problems matter most and which solutions work best, from global health to animal welfare to the long-term future.
Instead of a lecture, we’ll introduce the ideas through a trivia game. Each round covers one core idea, and a short explanation after each round shows you how it all fits together. You don’t need any background, and nobody will quiz you on anything you couldn’t guess.
What to expect
Individual trivia that introduces the key ideas of EA
Short, jargon-free explanations after every round
Plenty of room for questions
Who it’s for
Anyone curious about EA and looking for a low-key first introduction. You don’t need to be an expert. Come on your own, and bring a friend if you like.
