Before you go...
Three recommendations
An awful lot of you won’t like next week’s post*. But before you go:
Please read Hannah Ritchie. I don’t have a higher recommendation. (More)
For animal issues, Lewis Bollard. From here:
The person I trust most regarding animal suffering is Lewis Bollard at Open Philanthropy Project. He and I don’t agree on everything, but he is not trying to sell a certain story, promote his group or philosophy, or solicit support. He takes suffering very seriously. In addition to being extremely scrupulous and rigorous in evaluations, he constantly monitors himself for self-delusion.
For something different, check out Non-Zero-Sum Games: “a blog and now a podcast that focuses on win-win games—scenarios where everyone benefits, because I believe this is the only way we can build a brighter future together (sounds cheesy, I know, but if that’s not your thing… you may have wandered into the wrong saloon).”
* If you have read my actual blog at all, and/or the “More Unpopular Opinions” chapter of Losing My Religions, next week’s post won’t be a surprise. You already know I don’t write to be popular or make people feel good about themselves**. My only goal is to reduce the world’s worst suffering. Well, that, and pretty pictures and jokes. I do want you to be happy.
**:
Arizona might be the best for amazing cloud pictures, so thanks for that :)
Thanks for sharing! Wasn't familiar with non-zero sum games.
I definitely second that recommendation for Lewis's newsletter.
