seven shockingly specific ea party themes
enjoy a derek parfait at Rieslings and Persons or become ea adjacent, literally
The effective altruism community is sometimes accused (unfairly imo) of being literally no fun. “Buzzkills, doomers, won't stop talking about philosophy at my party,” they say.
Have no fear! We can throw our own parties, with these seven party themes which are tasteful yet incredibly specific.
Traffic Light Party - wear red if your p(doom) is >20%, green if it's <1%, and yellow if it's in between
Dank EA Memes - will you dress as Qualy, Julian wearing a shrimp costume with three women listening attentively, or Eliezer Yudkowsky’s hat collection?
Rieslings and Persons - serve a derek parfait mid-evening
Animal Liberation - dress as your favourite animal friend and get, er, liberated
Rationalist Casino - where counting cards is welcome and taking +EV bets is encouraged
EA Adjacent Party - anyone who has called themselves “ea adjacent” in the last six months is handcuffed to someone who considers themselves part of the ea community until they've completed a series of dares
“Most Expensive Outfit You'd Be Willing to Ruin in a Shallow Pond” Night - expect to see wedding dresses, tuxedos, and at least 15 Apple watches
Remember to party responsibly and most importantly to send me photos! ❤️
This post gave me my EA Halloween costume idea! I’m finally ready for Boston.
I groaned audibly for 15 seconds at Rieslings and Persons. What goes into a derek parfait? Also nominative determinism that the man who tells us how to live has the first name Derek, which is close to Derech, the way.
