First blog post

First post! This space is for two things.

First, I recently realized that I’m very skeptical of change. How can businesses / or product innovators affect people’s well-being? So many of them seem to be products for which there was no demand in the first place. How can non-profits affect people’s well-being? They’re limited by their low-funding. How can academics affect people’s wellbeing? So many people just read their research and forget about it.

So this space is my attempt to work through (hopefully, finally) to reject that skepticism.

Second, I want to read this summer, and I find that I get more from my reading if I write about it too. So hopefully this blog will act as a form of accountability.
