Samuel Annesley, Puritan minister, describes Christian duites to the poor. Duty to children does not permit taking away from your duty to the poor. Some hoard for children at risk of their own eternal good.

Is this advice on the lips of your local, contemporary Puritan scholar (or conference attendee)?

How can you consider your part towards the relief of the poor?

New draft just dropped:
"Adaptive maximization of social welfare"
https://maxkasy.github.io/home/files/papers/adaptive_social_welfare.pdf

Ever wondered how #AI might be used for #socialgood?
This paper develops some frameworks to this end!

A recent study suggests that #consciousness evolved primarily to enhance #socialinteractions, #communication, and the sharing of #ideas and #emotions, rather than solely for individual survival. This view implies that human consciousness is fundamentally intertwined with #socialcooperation and #collective #wellbeing.

#Capitalism, on the other hand, is an economic system that prioritises private ownership, profit maximisation, and market competition. While it can drive innovation and economic growth, it does not inherently prioritise social well-being. In practice, capitalism leads to wealth #inequality, #exploitation, and #environmental degradation if unchecked, because the primary motive is #profit rather than #socialgood.

The apparent disconnect between the social purpose of consciousness and the often individualistic nature of capitalism raises important questions about how our economic systems align with our evolved #socialnature. If consciousness and social cooperation are deeply connected, it suggests that economic systems should also promote collective well-being and equitable resource distribution. Balancing the strengths of capitalism with robust social policies and ethical considerations might be necessary to create a system that better reflects the social aspects of human consciousness.

Hey #Bristol & #SouthWest UK folk who work in any form of #BehaviourChange and #SocialMarketing #communications....

Would you be interested in an informal monthly meetup in a cafe/pub/other space to chat, swap ideas, stories and "network"?

I'm pondering on starting something up in the city and trying to gauge interest...

If you're wondering, this isn't an idea solely for academics or those 100% engaged in #SocialGood agency work.

There are loads of folk who work to change behaviours - #NHS communicators, #LocalGovernment folk, #charity folk etc - who might not class themselves as 'behaviour change' types, but who nevertheless are working to create change.

Social Marketing practice has, at an academic level, often missed these practitioners out - so I want to change that!

Let me know what you think and maybe we can gather!

Hi everyone, is this thing on?

Big thanks to #AoIR (hi @admin1) for creating this instance and inviting your members to join.

Quick introduction: I'm a second year PhD at University of Westminster, currently working on my research design to audit design features in direct messaging apps. Be great to connect with likeminded researchers into #politicaleconomy, #datafication, #actornetworktheory, #digitalmethods and pushing for more #socialgood to come through in the tech world

I'll do a (re) #introduction as I've moved instance.

I work for a #NonProfit #SocEnt in #Wales that supports young people and communities through using #Digital #ServiceDesign

As well the above, I'm interested in #Writing #Creativity #SolarPunk

Recently started my own website/newsletter nathwilliams.org discussing providing #Value for #SocialGood
