Could you clarify what the "We’ll also hear from our community members on where they donate and why!" part consists of during the main event?
Specifically, I see that there's more opportunity to talk about this topic in the Gathertown event after the main event, but I'm curious if event attendees will get an opportunity to share where they donated and why during the main event, or if the content on this during the main event is going to consist of something pre-planned from already selected-members of the community (such that main-event attendees will just be passively listening and pehaps answering a few poll questions).
We already have a bunch of community members involved in the main event (they'll be sharing about their giving onscreen) but there will be a chance for everyone to discuss during the gathertown event afterwards!
We'll also be prompting people to let us know in the chat during the YouTube event!

Epistemic status: Speculation from two decently informed advocates armed with anecdata.
Note on process: After having some version of this conversation several times and saying, “we should probably write about this publicly,” we took the less heroic route: we recorded one of our conversations, fed the transcript into an LLM, and then substantially revised the structure, substance, and framing ourselves. We will not be sharing the transcript, as it is in...
Michael Nielsen has a beautiful new essay on moral imagination: the ability humans have to 'develop and transmit new notions of good action, indeed, even new kinds of good'.
As examples, he gives:
* Hammurabi's creation of a code of laws (in 1754 BCE) and his justification of his rule not in terms of divine or hereditary right, but by the delivery of justice to his citizens.
* St Gregory of Nyssa's...
