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. :)

good thing you'll have another opportunity today

Jason was once my manager! Great guy, brilliant mind, optimistic outlook. I feel bad for all the ranting I subjected him to.

Interesting. I think the progress right now got really out of our control and the new philosophie has to find a way to make humans to be consistent with this scale. I will try to attend!

thanks for doing these. enjoyable and informative. also like meeting a new person on FC thats serious about and good at their work. 👊
