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. :)
