Problems like climate change and food insecurity are not technological problems at this point. They are political problems. The job board you want is the board that organizes people to demand political change.
- thaddeusmt 5y agoYes, but maybe a company or organization is, in fact, looking at political climate change solutions, but needs tech hires for their operations, etc. As the target audience for a job board like this, the question I am starting with isn't "how can tech solve climate change?", it's "how can I apply my tech skills to a problem like climate change?".
- goodpoint 5y ago> They are political problems That's true by definition. As political systems are very sensitive to technology, doing tech work can be a very effective form of activism.
- GoodJokes 5y agoPolitical CAN be sensitive, but again even then not in necessarily in positive ways. We have developed the agricultural techniques and technology to significantly mitigate food insecurity and climate change, yet we don’t. So how sensitive and in what ways. At some point government and economic systems have to change.
