2 topics for the meeting (we'll spend about an hour on each):
1. Last month we discussed the missed cause prioritization, is this a practical example of that mismatch: Center for Effective Aid Policy has shut down - let’s talk about the importance of policy work and if EA is or should be competent in politics.

2. The science of friendship. Friendship through history. Friendship types - by the virtue of common interests vs spending time together. How to cultivate friendships? What are the limits in creating bonds? Enemies of friendship: anxiety, fear, laziness.
