This post is in 6 parts, starting with some basic reflections on suffering and ethics, and ending with a brief project description. While this post might seem overly broad-ranging, it's meant to set out some basic arguments and explain the rationale for the project initiative in the last section, for which we are looking for support and collaboration.
yesterday 0 likes 0 commentsPromoting compassionate longtermismJan 16, 2023 View post This post was written as a response to the longtermist thinking that is very influential within the effective altruism movement. I write that "much of the focus is on our survival as a species, and less on preventing future suffering. This suggests a possible imbalance in priorities, and could make large-scale suffering more likely due to fewer resources spent aiming to prevent it." I argue for the importance of prioritising the prevention of suffering, including in the short term, and briefly present OPIS projects to widely communicate these ideas and concrete steps that can be taken.ArticleJan 16, 2023Public 0 0A short story about cluster "suicide" headachesI made this short film for OPIS, with animation by Mary Karpetas, to depict the awful reality of cluster headaches, one of the most excruciating conditions known to medicine, and explain the urgent need to remove the legal barriers to accessing effective therapeutics like psilocybin.ArticleNov 9, 2020Public 0 0Coronavirus COVID-19: Facts and Self-CareI've put together this page with two of my OPIS colleagues.

Is there still room for love — not just for others, but for life itself? This is the paradox faced by anyone who is aware of what is happening in our world and still strives to derive pleasure from existence."ArticleOct 12, 2017Public 0 0The Battle for Compassion (Arabic)Our whole world needs more compassion, and perhaps nowhere more so at the moment than in large parts of the Arabic-speaking world.
