If there are significant differences in how effectively work in different cause areas may help the world, then it could be extremely important to choose the best one. Many of us are explicitly or implicitly making judgements about this by choosing what to support, but we don't all agree. We can thrive as a movement of people co-operating despite disagreement, but it seems valuable to understand exactly how others trying to help the world effectively can come to different conclusions. In this workshop we'll collectively work to uncover some of this reasoning.
