Economist @mattsclancy, program director of the Abundance & Growth Fund at Coefficient Giving, joined host @HalderAlaka to discuss "The Atlas of Innovation", a new tool that helps funders choose how to pay for the innovations they want. Grants, prizes, advance market commitments, funders have a lot of ways to back innovation, but they rarely have a clean way to compare them. We sat down to look at a new project mapping out thirteen different funding mechanisms and their exact tradeoffs.

Just listed on our platform: The great @AllisonSchrager has a new book and she's coming on @interintellect_ for an online salon moderated by @HalderAlaka 📖 What is worth the risk? Probably more than you think! interintellect.com/salons/wo…

Our friend @j_amesmarriott is back on @interintellect_ -- come join this conversation on the future of AI and literacy. Hosted by @HalderAlaka interintellect.com/salons/th…

The way you fund an idea can determine which ideas ever get a chance to exist. Economist @mattsclancy joins host @HalderAlaka to talk about the "Atlas of Innovation", a framework for thinking beyond the default ways we fund research and asking a more interesting question: what kind of funding produces the kind of innovation we actually want? Come for the economics of innovation, stay for the surprisingly consequential question of how we choose to pay for the future. interintellect.com/salons/ma…

A very nice morning at Turkey Creek and Ski Shores

How do we actually choose how to fund new ideas? Economist @mattsclancy joins host @HalderAlaka to discuss the Atlas of Innovation, a new framework breaking down how different funding choices shape what gets invented, how fast, and at what cost. Join us for a conversation on the often-overlooked role funding plays in innovation.💡 interintellect.com/salons/ma…

Design researcher and author @paminthelab joined host @HalderAlaka for a SuperSalon conversation about how our online lives can enrich, rather than destroy, human connections and to rethink what emotional well-being looks like. We've all heard that too much screen time is bad for our well-being, that we should put down our phones and "touch grass." But many of us spend most of our life online, whether for work, school, or to socialize. In her book, "All the Feels", Pamela explores how being online shapes our emotions, showing that the internet allows us to be more emotionally expressive in a way that benefits our mental health and helps us connect deeply with others. Blending research, cultural observation, and personal stories, she maps the emotional terrain of digital life. Instead of telling us to log off, she asks how we can remain empathetic, curious, and human in a world that never powers off.

On a recent @interintellect_ Salon, @HalderAlaka asked me about how the elderly are targeted by scammers, and also, by family members. Beware and protect your olds, including from people they may love and trust.

The wonderful @NancyRomm was on @interintellect_ this week, hosted by @HalderAlaka, a legendary salon host. Nancy's new essays explore the sorry state of American elder care and her journey trying to find the best situation for her mother: nancyrommelmann.substack.com… Video soon!

Following along with the trials (to put it mildly) I've been dealing with during my mother's slow decline, by a family member as well as scammers, white collar and otherwise? Join us on Wednesday; hopefully I can save you some pain! interintellect.com/salons/na…

Join us for this much-awaited SuperSalon! We spend so much of our lives behind screens, but does that mean we have to sacrifice our emotional depth? Tech researcher @paminthelab sits down with host @HalderAlaka to discuss how our digital lives can actually enrich human connection and emotional well-being rather than destroy it. interintellect.com/salons/al…

This is a great chart for why we should look at things like productivity and not “shipping” for signals of AI-driven economic acceleration. The former is a function of what people value enough to actually spend money on, the latter could be a proxy for it…but not necessarily.
