Grey Mirror #13 Kelsey Piper, Vox: Effective Altruist Media, Memetic Immunity, and The Questions Social Justice Can Answer

This is a podcast from MIT Media Lab’s Digital Currency Initiative on technology, society, and ethics called Grey Mirror (Soundcloud, Youtube, iTunes, Spotify, Overcast).

In today’s episode, I interview Kelsey Piper, a writer at Future Perfect—an Effective Altruist-inspired media publication from Vox. We chat about her mindset behind Effective Altruist media, the types of questions social justice is good at answering, and memetic immunity as cultural evolution.
