Welcome to @jasoncrawford.eth!

Jason is the founder of The Roots of Progress, a non-profit dedicated to progress studies. In addition, he has served as an advisor for Our World in Data and as a guest lecturer at MIT.

His essay, We Need A New Philosophy of Progress, is one of the best arguments for techno-optimism that I've read: https://rootsofprogress.org/we-need-a-new-philosophy-of-progress/

He has agreed to do an AMA for the /books channel as part of the ongoing Silicon Valley Canon course.

Reply with your questions. :)

what real-world progress has The Roots of Progress Institute made since its founding?

We launched our fellowship program, we are about to host our first annual progress conference, and I'm partway through writing a book on my philosophy of progress, The Techno-Humanist Manifesto

If you mean “how have we grown the world economy?”, too early for that, but I have inspired at least one nuclear founder!

I am serializing it on my blog, the first three chapters are out already!
