Hi William,

In your TED talk you picked human health, animal farm conditions and "Existential" threats like global warming and nuclear proliferation as: Big -Solvable - Neglected problems.

At the same time, you show human health and human nutrition being better served today than any time in history. Some argue nuclear standoff has saved billions in lives by preventing WW III (look at Russia today).

What is good?

How do you decide?

Why do you think charity is a better investment vs funding a commercial enterprise to solve big issues (like food and healthcare)?

Do you think Dr Fauci and the CDC considered teen mental health during covid? Considering covid's affects on people under 20, what would you have done the same? Different?

Are you concerned about public employee union money in politics? How would you fix police and teacher unions that protect bad officers and bad teachers?

Thank you for this. I understand there are two ideas for changing Presidential launch powers. One is only Congress can declare war and the second is taking away any first strike authority. Is there any thought about combining the two ideas? First strike must be authorized by the President and Congress? Or at least a subset of congress like a committee?

What is Russia's policy?

If raising animals in poor conditions produces more protein more efficiently for the poor, is it good or bad?

If curing cancer requires 10% of global GDP, should we do it?

I don't see how data or math can answer these complex questions that often result in subjective moral argument.

Do you think the search for profits has helped humanity?
