Nice to meet you Andre. The autonomous driving industry looks more interesting than what I am doing :)

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to EA. My name is J.K. Lund and I operate the Risk & Progress newsletter. Given that we likely live in a "time of perils," every person alive today has "extraordinary altruistic leverage" to help build a better future. Based on this idea, I started Risk & Progress to educate myself and others about the risks and opportunities facing humanity. 

Risk & Progress is a hub for essays that explore risk, human progress, and your potential. My mission is to educate, inspire, and invest in practical concepts that promote a better future for all. Subscriptions are free but paid subscribers gain access to the full archive, including the Pathways of Progress essay series.

This is gradually culminating in an essay series called Pathways of Progress, which I may offer as an ebook eventually. Pathways of Progress is an essay series comprising 50+ curated works about human progress. At over 50,000+ words, Pathways brings together knowledge from 120+ sources, and over 4 years of research. This collection is organically expanded and refined as new research emerges. 

Long term, I would like to turn this work into a course and perhaps a children's book that can inspire a future generation to seek a hopeful future.

I look forward to learning from everyone here and featuring you at Risk & Progress.
