The way life is, every action has a suffering footprint. Not the Buddha’s variety suffering, but more objective reality of physical pain that is the common denominator among all beings that live and have locomotion.

When we consume, whether to live or whether to indulge, we cause suffering. My philosophy is to consume to live and then live to alleviate physical suffering

Whether we are consuming resources to live or whether we are consuming resources to do good, I think it’s equally important to do a life-cycle assessment of both.

I think having a place to see people, problems and solutions spatially and contextually will be much better than sifting through chronological social feeds. Maybe these will all be people who have realized that they need to have a purposeful life, and the purpose is doing good. There is still a larger problem of how you define good. Will a technological solution also counter the current framework which produces a spectrum of people ranging from pursuing happiness to doing good by simply saving or improving human lives?
