Current Status of the EA Movement (Keynote) | William MacAskill | EAGxBerlin 2017

I give an overview of the progress of the EA movement over the last year, giving updates from the major EA organisations, and highlighting broad themes.

I then discuss the importance of 'doing good together'. As the community grows, it becomes increasingly important to think not about how *I* as an individual can do the most good, but also about how *we* as a community can do the most good. I suggest some ways in which this "community impact" approach might lead to different strategies for doing good than a purely individualistic approach would recommend.
