What will we do?
Interactive talk on what probabilities are, why they matter and how you can apply them in your daily life to improve your thinking and make better decisions. This time we will focus on application to EA (Effective Altruism), in particular utility functions, intuitions for small and large probabilities (numbers) etc.
No mathematical background is required. The goal is to make the topic very intuitive and simple.
This is a joint event with EA Freiburg.
There will be snacks and drinks.
