I want to know what’s going on in the world. I’m a human; I’m interested in what other humans are up to; I value them, care about their triumphs and mourn their deaths.But:There’s far too much going on for me to keep track of all of itI think that some parts of what’s going are likely far more important than othersI don’t think that regular news providers are picking the important bits to report onI would really like there to be a scope sensitive news provider which was making a good faith attempt to report on the things which most matter in the world. But as far as I know, this doesn’t exist.In the absence of such a provider, I’ve spent a small amount of time trying to find out some basic context on what happens in the world on the average day. I think of this as a bit like a cheat sheet: some information to have in the back of my mind when reading whatever regular news stories are coming at me, to ground me in something that feels a bit closer to what’s actually going on.Original article:https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/rXYW9GPsmwZYu3doX/what-happens-on-the-average-dayNarrated for the Effective Altruism Forum by TYPE III AUDIO.Share feedback on this narration.
