Food for Thought is a series of events, where we discuss philosophical and practical questions of EA in small groups over food and drinks: We are exploring effective altruism one bite at a time (at the moment, it's rather one sip at a time, until we've found an indoor location that allows us to bring food). EA newcomers are welcome; studying the suggested material is encouraged but not required, please RSVP.
Topic
This time we want to get practical again! Join us for an evening about probabilistic thinking. We will prepare a couple of small exercises and games to calibrate and learn more about this approach of viewing the world. For those of you who'd rather come for a discussion, there will also be room for a meta discussion and the question: how well does this approach serve us as an EA commiunity?

Where/How/What
Since it's now too cold for a picnic in the park, we are going to meet at Atopia. It is easy to reach via Ringbahn (Prenzlauer Allee), M10 (Prenzlauer Allee/Danziger Staße) or M2 (Fröbelstraße).
What to bring
Some change to buy a drink - they don't accept card payment at Atopia.
Sorry for the bad formatting - it doesnt work currently for me. I've tried it on several browsers.
