What this is
A Google doc containing links to:
- (all?) existing lists of EA videos
- (all?) EA-related YouTube channels (intended to be comprehensive for active channels with over 10 videos that seem worth sharing in an EA group)
- some EA-related podcasts
- some suggested videos, sorted into categories like "Intro to EA," "AI governance," "animal welfare," "career planning," etc
- some discussion prompts for watching these videos in discussion groups
- some resources and tips for running these discussion groups
Please comment with feedback and suggestions!
Why I made it
This fall, University of Michigan's EA group ran weekly "general meetings." We would watch a video and then break out into smaller groups to discuss, with help from a page of discussion prompts. To run these meetings, the following actions need to happen:
- find a room
- pick a video
- make the discussion prompts (or do this on your phone as you watch the video)
- order food delivery (e.g. pizza)
- set up the projector to display the video
- run the meeting
If you do a recurring meeting, you can probably do (1) exactly once for the entire semester or year. I made this doc to reduce the work of (2) and (3) for all EA groups that want to run video-based discussion groups.
In case it's useful: Wild animal suffering video course
Great! Added.
