“My husband had been fascinated by Scottish Highlanders. We would drive by this place and you'd have to stop, get out of the car and like look through the woods to see them. And I was like, they're just big, shaggy horned beasts. I don't know about horns, you know, and it was like, oh my gosh. They wanted to sell the herd. They were getting older, had health problems. They wanted it to go somewhere local. A young family. I'm like, well, we're young, we're a family, maybe we could buy some calves. I didn't want anything to do with moms. I will buy some calves. So I come home and made the mistake of telling my husband about this. He's like, let's buy the whole herd.” Tricia Park is a former volunteer EMT & Medic.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: EA Debate Championship & Lecture Series, published by Dan Lahav, sella on the Effective Altruism Forum. Executive Summary On October 23-25 2020, we hosted the inaugural online EA Debate Championship - a three-day debate championship with EA-themed topics. The championship had 150+ participants, from roughly 25 countries, that span 6 continents. The championship was supported by the World Universities Debating Championship, aka WUDC - one of the largest international student-driven events in the world. There were a total of 7 debate rounds - 5 preliminary rounds and 2 knockout rounds. The knockout rounds were held in 2 different language proficiency categories to promote inclusivity. In total over the course of that weekend over 500 EA-related speeches were delivered. The championship featured a Distinguished Lecture Series as non-mandatory preparation material - 9 lectures, 3 debate exercises and 1 Q&A session containing introductory EA materials (totalling ~10 hours), with top EA speakers including Ishaan Guptasarma, Joey Savoie, Karolina Sarek, Kat Woods, Lewis Bollard, Olivia Larsen, Nick Beckstead, and Will MacAskill. The debate exercises were filmed by world-renowned debate teams. The championship included a research component to examine if debating on EA topics changes the stance of debaters towards EA values. Most of the participants were not familiar with EA prior to the competition, or had limited exposure to core EA ideas. However, when asked after the tournament many were highly positive on the prospect of attending a future EA debating championship, and reported a strong willingness to continue their engagement with the EA community. During the tournament, over $2,000 were donated to effective charities by the participants (with most of the funds going to the Against Malaria Foundation). The funds were doubled via donation matching provided by Open Philanthropy. The competition was initiated and organized by members of EA Israel who are also debaters; with the support of several highly influential international debaters and the World Championship. This collaboration was possible due to the strong ties that exist between the debating community and the EA community in Israel. We think that there is room to building similar ties on a more global scale. In the rest of the post we will explain our motivation to run the event, describe the program and its outcomes in detail, share what we have learned from the process, and discuss our next steps. Organizing the tournament was an effort of a great many. We thank them all, and would like to stress that any mistakes or inaccuracies in the description are our own. In particular we would like to thank Adel Ahmed, Ameera Moore, Barbara Batycka, Bosung Baik, Chaerin Lee, Connor O'Brien, Dana Green, Emily Frizell, Enting Lee, Harish Natarajan, Ishaan Guptasarma, Jaeyoung Choi, Jessica Musulin, Joey Savoie, Kallina Basli, Karolina Sarek, Kat Woods, Lewis Bollard, Milos Marajanovic, Mubarrat Wassey, Nick Beckstead, Olivia Larsen, Omer Nevo, Sally Kwon, Salwaa Khan, Seoyoun, Seungyoun Lee, Sharmila Parmanand, Tricia Park, Will MacAskill and Yeaeun Shin for their contributions in running the tournament, filming lectures or creating exercises; to David Moss, David Reinstein and Stefan Schubert for their advice on running the tournament survey; and to the many incredibly qualified debate adjudicators & speakers that made the event possible Motivation We initiated this effort due to the impression that themed debating tournaments (along with matching preparation materials) can be a relatively broad yet high-fidelity outreach opportunity. We believe this is the case for several reasons: The international debating community mostly consists of undergraduate students from around 50 countries (elite universities are represented ac...
Writing is hard because we have a lofty idea of what writing is. We imagine people--fancy people--with degrees and credentials and quills and thick notebooks into which they spill their flawless thoughts from their flawless brains, sitting in flawless libraries filled top to bottom with other flawless books by other flawless authors. Yeah, no. That's not how it works. The best writing begins with mess.The messier and wilder you are, the better. The best thing we can do is throw ourselves in, as quickly as possible, and write a lot of mess, as fast as we can.Okay, yeah, but how? If you're ready to make the leap, here's five ways to unstuck your writing.
“So….do you still play the violin?”Recently, people have been asking me this a lot, and I'll be honest with you, it kind of pisses me off.My reaction to that question is visceral: defensive, angry, defiant. And a little scared. Because, dammit, I didn't give up my childhood and every fun thing to be a violinist and have it called into question now. I'm also aware that my outsized reaction to this question also reveals my own insecurities. Because if someone is asking me if I'm still a violinist, it's a pretty innocent question, right? I mean, I should be able to say, yes, without needing to prove it.Lately, I've been wondering, why do I feel the need to prove it? And why, just because I'm doing something else in addition to playing the violin, are people so confused?It seems like it's difficult to process that I do multiple things. For example, I play the violin (yes, I still do) and yes, I also write.It's made me wonder why this seems so difficult to understand?Do you ever feel like if you aren't doing music with 100% focus, then you aren't a serious musician? Maybe it's not something your friends or colleagues say explicitly, but somehow, you feel it or sense it?I think it's because classical music - like ballet or ice skating or gymnastics, perhaps -- demands monastic devotion. Listen to this episode for why I think something about classical music training might keep us stuck in one identity and makes us afraid to try new things.
Last week you heard about a nasty anonymous letter sent to my fellow farmer, Tricia Park of Creekside Meadows farm, berating her about her prices. All of us small, independent farmers and business owners…if we've been in the game for a while, have a few of these war stories to tell. This week I'm going to share one of my favorites, about Agnes and The Cloak of Shame. This is part two of my three part series on Pricing &Spiritual Well-Being. This section is excerpted from my newest book, Redefining Rich. You can find the full transcript here. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/TheRadicalHomemaker)
On this episode, Bailey interviews Taylor Morris. Hailed by a 2nd grade classroom as “wreely nice and kind” and “the coolest man on erth,” Taylor Morris enjoys blurring the lines between violin and fiddle. Eagerly collaborating across genres, he has performed in 48 states and 13 countries as a soloist, as an alumnus of Barrage, with duo partner Tricia Park, or with chamber-folk string sextet The Sound Accord. Offstage, Taylor obtained a master's in education from Harvard University and teaches nationally as a guest educator and clinician. He co-founded/co-directs the Gilbert Town Fiddlers, runs a summer camp for young musicians called StringPlay, serves as a Guest Lecturer at Arizona State University, and maintains an active private studio of young musicians. Taylor and Bailey cover several topics including: what he prioritizes in folk pedagogy for his own students, how to engage and elevate learning in the ensemble classroom, and why fiddling actually helps the majority of classical string players.

If you've never had pasture raised beef and pork just do it. You won't believe the taste. If you love bacon....you'll hit the Fort Knox of flavor. It's out-of-control delicious. Tricia Park, her husband (both military veterans), and son run Creekside Meadows Farm, a small farm in upstate New York. Started 20+ years ago it has been a learning experience for all of them. On the arrival of their first small heard of cattle she said, "It has to be profitable or it we don't do it." Listening to her it sounds like they figured it out with some help along the way and a lot of perseverance. Tricia tells us about her farm and its offerings as a CSA and how the farm grew and became a viable business allowing them to do what they love and have a life as well. Make no mistake about it, Tricia made sure the financial and business ends were in place for the farm while her husband and son managed multiple farm operations....and I've seen her in the fields as well. It should come as no surprise the farm is run well as both Tricia and Matt are military veterans. They know how to get things done...and they are always smiling. I think they like what they do. Tricia shared some resources for Military Vets and women who wish to farm. "Farm-ops" is the veteran focused part of Cornell Small Farms. Dean Koyanagi is the head and veterans interested in farming can look them up at: smallfarms.cornell.edu/projects/farm-ops/ If you are a veteran and looking for help starting a farm visit Farmer Veteran Coalition. www.farmvetco.org Tricia's main farm business training came from www.holisticmanagement.org The program was Whole farm planning for Beginning Women farmers.

.This interview happened during Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony at the Kavanaugh hearing In my conversation with playwright, fiction writer, and doula, Jennifer Fawcett, we talk about: How do we give ourselves "permission"? The importance of making your own "stuff". Struggling with "who cares" and Imposter Syndrome. How powerful and necessary it is to tell our own stories. If girls face more challenges towards self-actualization. How to keep making things even if we feel inadequate. How writing her own material helped her overcome messages that she wasn't good enough. How we all have experiences with bullying and how bullying is a magnet topic. Depression and and the perspective making power of storytelling and theater. Narcissism and social media. Teaching writing workshops in Tanzania and Rwanda. Motherhood and its impact of creative work and process. How storytelling creates awareness of interconnection across cultures, languages, and experiences. Why perfect isn't interesting. Why we should "keep doing it anyway".
By the time she was 16, Tricia Park was a professional violinist. Labeled and marketed as a child prodigy, teenage Tricia toured constantly, playing 70-80 concerts a year. But when, in her early 20s, she aged out of the "child prodigy" range, concert numbers decreased, and she was faced with a major, unforeseen transition. In this episode, we explore the many ways she has adapted to post-child-prodigy life, including her MFA thesis, a novel exploring her Korean heritage.

In my interview with Morgane Michael, host and producer of Kindsight 101, we discuss why kindness gets a bad rap; the research that shows how kindness and compassion actually increase creativity and productivity; how Pixar and Disney are embracing kindness practices in their work cultures without lowering their standards; how to counter the 'live or die' mentality of perfectionism and achievement; the contagious impact of kindness, affecting our physical and mental wellness as well as the dominant culture; how social media can be damaging, leading to depression and anxiety; how we can find ways to be more 'real' and risk being more authentic and vulnerable in our public personas; and why play is the antidote to perfectionism.

Tricia Park, world-class violinist and entrepreneur, talks about her experiences starting and playing in her many projects. We also discuss audience engagement and the importance of the human making the sounds on the stage.
In this episode, we talk with world-class Julliard-trained violinist Tricia Park about her experiences as a child prodigy. We discuss how learning to play the violin and perform for world-class audiences at a very young age made her feel special all the while contributing to a limited sense of identity. She shares her unique insights into what it’s like to live a big life as a quiet and painfully shy child and she discusses simple ways that educators can help their exceptional students rise about the pressures associated with achievement and perfectionism.
