The first advice: Invite a friend to an event-It's interesting how one can even host it without extra disposable money and time.
One of my colleagues got declined for a group support funding for an event they wanted to host last year and guess what he hasn't spoken about Effective Altruism since. It's interesting how the community support grantmakers think it is easily possible to host events without any support and how the community builders are taken for granted.
Guess how this post resonated with me? I too believe that EA community needs to make way more space for people with innovative mindsets and pave way for individuals who are trying to think beyond mechanistic expectations and call to actions. I myself didn't join the forum until recently since I knew the vibe was very mechanical and mostly too much cautious and preachy. We should aim for experimentation as a community and in that line all the best for the podcast!
