Hi there, I'm Ben.
I want to build a world in which people flee to safety, not more vulnerability.
If that resonates with you, don't be afraid to say hello.
These are some questions I'm grappling with:
-
"How can we help refugees access food that is healthy and reliable in camp settings?"
see: From Seed to Shelter
-
"Malnutrition is linked to half of all deaths in children under 5 — how can we reduce the number of children in this situation?"
see: Taimaka
-
"How can AI tools be used to improve humanitarian coordination and elevate community voices?"
see: Ares Intelligence (collaborator)
-
"How on earth does anyone publish a card game?"
see: Argumentative People
-
"Do our commitments give life meaning? Do we make 'bets' in service of these?"
-
"Where does the notion of maximisation (profit, happiness) come from?"
-
"Can we live comfortable lives when the world is so unequal? Is choosing not to patronising?"
If you'd like to help me figure out the answers to any of these questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Say hello
