No. He’s amazing reporter. While he delivered awesome investigative work, he’s most tecognized for his human-intrest feature stories. He have great compasion that spawn great insights, and he’s master of words. He win Pulitzer twice, and launched a movement for change once or twice. By all account he’s one-in-a-generstion superstar reporter. And Lois is better.

I would be very cautious with min-maxing charity. It’s a path to Effective Altruism logic, which is a trap that lead to some weird trolley-problem-like eugenic-happy-pseudorationale. Stay away.

In a lifetime timeline I think that tremendous positive change could be created by teaching children recognize they emotion and regulate them. It have proven impact on… Well basicly everything. From addiction,/suicide/self-harm preventrion to things like akademic/work/artistic/cognitive performance or self-motivation or overall level of happiness. There is no area that wouldn’t improve and all those amazing people would generate amazing outcomes.

in shorter horizon, and for people who already are adults… And I think about it a lot, we should create an “audio-first learning platform”. Start with open source lectures and quality courses. Maybe ad an app that show you visuals or test only when absolutely necessary. But we need something that will easli slow you to learn WHILE, you are doing meaningless task that you need to, do to survive. Something that you can use while doing house chores, work on assembly line or as delivery person, something you can listen discreetly in your non-suportive envirement… Podcast and audio books are on massive raise. E-learnign was on a.massive raise (until they all went public or private and turn to shit in a chase for profit). There is a need and there is a demand. Technologicaly it’s very achievable. And “any phone and any headphones” is as small entry threshold one could ask for. We have the ships that could get as to the stars allredy, we just need the crew.

OK. But you don’t go: “How could Wonder Women afford invisible high-tech jet? She must be the owner of fortune 500 company”. That because you know things. You have more information and assume it’s general knowledge. People are just as likely to see batman as gadget-men, as magic-men or demon or mutant. Or alien. Superman have army of robots and he’s poor. A lot of weird things in this world.
