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.

Please let us know if you have any feedback or give us a review on iTunes! Also please follow mitDCI and RhysLindmark on Twitter for episode updates. Thanks!
