Outreach Thread

This isn't very broad, but it went much better than I expected.

I wrote a series of letters to my grandmother describing my experiences at CFAR and describing what I learned. She is finding them very valuable and says that she has been discussing and sharing them with her friends to understand the ideas better. She wishes that she heard a lot of the ideas much earlier.

I'm so far only finished writing about half of my experiences and it has been wonderful. Rewriting everything I learned is helping me connect it in new ways. Since my grandmother doesn't know very much science, I haven't used much as much jargon, or have been very patient to explain all of the small pieces. It's good for learning what the inferential distances are.

This Saturday (March 12) I'm giving a conference at an atheist meeting in Bogotá, Colombia. I'll be using a Spanish translation I made of the famous "You Are a Brain" slideshow.

Thanks! This would make my goals easier from here i could learn about other people's methods which they had successfully used for out reach then, also be able to design my own methods from other people's ideals making use of this ideals in future. I also would be able to share my taught's and ideals with others easily.

This is Very brief, concise and enough to create a positive impact in touching and transforming lives. This is very motivating and I love thinking rationally.

Like user:BenLowell, I reached out to an individual who shall remain anonymous. I wrote about this experience and how and why to do it more often in Look for Lone Correct Contrarians.

I hope that someday I would be able to organize an outreach and share it here in your outreach thread.

I hope that one day I will be able to organize an outreach providing community support to inspire others. One good deed after another. Who knows how many we can reach out! :)

Note, all these publications were for a broad audience, so couched in the language of science-based self-improvement, as are other Intentional Insights activities.

1) Published an article for a popular self-improvement website encouraging people to update their beliefs.

2) Published an article for a popular secular website introducing the concept of agency.

3) Published an article for a prominent self-improvement website introducing the basics and implications of dual process theory.

4) Published an article for a secular organization on Giving Games, workshop-style events promoting EA-style effective giving.

This is great, thanks for sharing it!
