Freedom-Adjusted Life Years

By act65 @ 2025-07-18T12:56 (+3)

I had a go at doing some back-of-the-envelope accounting to compare 3 health issues (diabetes, depressions and endometriosis - via DALYs) and 3 freedom related issues (modern slavery, the largest refugee camp, North Korea - via FYLs).

Maybe we could more effectively recover years lost by prioritising more freedom-related issues?

See https://act65.github.io/freedom-adjusted-life-years/ for the analysis / conclusions.

Interesting idea! I recommend sharing a bit more detail - or the whole post - on the forum directly.
