There are some problematic messages and role-models influencing young men today. Our new episode 'Masculinity—a case for courage' is conceived through a non-zero-sum lens and draws on modern thinkers who are having a more healthy conversation. #MRAs #mensrights #feminism #gender #AndrewTate #Rogan

Ooopsies. Sorry, the last two links I sent out were meant to have audio content, but they were embedded incorrectly! So, you poor people had to read! Here are the links again, with audio embedded correctly... nonzerosum.games/oneperson.html and nonzerosum.games/masculinity....

I've swapped my morning coffee out for matcha, but I sweeten it with salted caramel protein powder. I call it my "Macho Latte". #Matcha #Macho #GreenTea #Coffee

A special guest episode from software engineer and Aristotle scholar Andrew Tane Glen (also my best mate), voiced by the man himself, introducing the Super-Defector! #Cooperation #Evolution #History #Philosophy #Anthropology

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.

Ha, just going through my twitter DMs before abandoning it altogether, and realised that back in 2010 I totally ghosted Taika Waititi... #oop #sorry #proxyfamous

Last year I was lucky enough to spend 6 months cutting a beautiful documentary for Leanne Pooley with my long-time editing partner Tim Woodhouse and we just won Best Editing: Documentary / Factual at the NZ Screen Awards!

I’m starting a movement against music in waiting rooms. If I’m sitting for an hour, I want to read, not listen to music I didn’t choose. Who’s with me? #waitingrooms #readers #rant #issues

Has it ever occurred to you that good times never make for great stories, but disasters... often... do? I'm mixing it up this week with a funny story... that wasn't so funny at the time. #mishaps #cars #oops #disaster #tesla #panic nonzerosum.games/nomatterwhereyougetto.html

this is so wonderfully weird, give her all the golds 🥇

I prefer the "rising tide lifts all boats" to the "increasing the size of the pie" metaphor. The latter assumes the success of business leads to the alleviation of poverty, the former acknowledges that it's two way: 1. better business → poverty alleviation 2. poverty alleviation → better business

I'm always trying to picture the ideal society. To do this is to balance the freedoms we're willing to forego in order to provide rights we determine to be essential. This episode explores a new way of looking at Rights & Liberties, helping us parse the rhetoric of "big" and "small" government.

The University system doesn't have a left-wing bias, it has a 'open-mindedness to truth' bias, which it shares with left-wing politics. #Politics #Left #Right #TheSystem

I care about poverty, mainly alleviating it.. When I discovered this one piece of research it changed my whole approach to understanding poverty. "Why People in Poverty make Poor Decisions" explores this research which points to a simple solution. Listen or read at: nonzerosum.games/poverty.html
