Non-zero-sum James
Podcaster and Blogger—strong believer in effective altruism and have taken the giving pledge.
My weekly blog and podcast at nonzerosum.games is a world-help site of sorts - focussing on win-win games as essential to facing global issues. I explore game-theoretical approaches to real world issues in an accessible way, using illustrations, simulations and badly drawn graphs.
