How do we stop the worst—personally and collectively—from happening? The podcast Suffering and Social Change features in-depth conversations with experts from diverse fields: philosophy, the cognitive sciences and AI, the social sciences, philanthropy and politics. Our episodes navigate the complex landscape of severe suffering, discussing its nature, causes, and far-reaching implications for individuals and society. We aim to stare into the abyss—and emerge with hope.
The podcast is hosted by Adriano Mannino and Nils Althaus. Adriano Mannino is a philosopher at UC Berkeley, policy consultant and social entrepreneur. Nils Althaus is a writer, journalist and originally a biochemist.
