This brilliant. I've experimented with making similar simulators before, but this from Giving What We Can is so well executed and needed right now... some perspective, and just how lucky we (some of us) are. #charity #wealth #redistribution #fairness #equity #equality

I always wonder if I could act heroically if put in a situation that required it. We know some people definitely have the capacity.
This episode is based on a post I wrote in a moment of doubt and confusion about humanity on the day of Alexei Navalny's death in prison. #Russia #Putin #Ukraine

I want to solve problems in the world, but many issues seem intractable because they require coordination, like pins in a lock.
Understanding coordination is necessary for issues like climate change and inequality.
'Unlocking Solutions' deals with coordination problems and how to solve them.
