Recommended by Philosophy bear

Ethical veganism, effective altruism, U.S. foreign policy, intellectual history, human rights, and human wrongs.

Reporting and analysis on capitalism, great power competition, and the race to build machine superintelligence from journalist w/ work in NYT, Nature, BBC, TIME, and more.

Garrison Lovely does rare work on AI- technically informed, highly researched and politically left-wing, with an eye to risks both catastrophic and non-catastrophic- highly recommend!
