Meetup : Five Worlds Collide - Vienna

Here is the always updated version of the event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1505431786437253/

Welcome to Five Worlds Collide, the (un)conference for effective altruism, quantified self, rationality/scientific thinking, transhumanism and artificial intelligence.

What: Present your own thoughts and projects, get inspired by new input, discuss, disagree, change your mind and grow – and connect with new amazing people and form ideas and projects together. In practice this means next to five keynote talks there will be a lot of opportunity to give short lightning talks yourself.

When: it starts in the evening of Friday the 4th of December - and ends in the evening on Sunday the 6th of December 2015 (so it's 2,5 days)

Where: sektor5 is an amazing and huge coworking space in Vienna. They even won the “Best Coworking Space” in the Austrian national round of the Central European Startup Awards 2015!

How much: the ticket for the event will be 50 Euro. This is the absolute minimum needed to create this event so there is also the option on Eventbrite to donate additional money to make the event as great as possible. (Any overshoot will be used for "Effective Altruism Austria" and/or donated effectively to GiveWell top charities.)

The “five wolds” we want to link already have a huge overlap. People who are interested in one of those topics are in most cases also interested in another one. EA ∧ QS: My self is not limited to my body and health - how can I quantify and measure my positive impact on the world? H+ ∧ AI: what are the consequences of AI for the future of humanity? QS ∧ H+: How can we use self tracking and big data to improve humanity; make it happier, healthier, smarter? [...]
