I Learned a new term today, “The Math of Public Good”. The concept is not new to me but I love this phrasing. It puts me mind of ‘Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need’.

goals we aspire to such as food and shelter. We need other things too, such as love and belonging, but it’s the basic needs that ‘the math of public good’ makes me think of.
If you add two positive numbers the result is a larger number. The math of society is no different.

If every person had access to the basic needs ALL of us benefit.
The ways we all benefit are too numerous for me to mention here but imagine a society where no one sleeps on the streets out of want. Then, they are no longer the victims of crime and they are no longer

This is a simple example of the math of public good. We owe it to ourselves to be force multipliers, to push for a more just society because we will all benefit.

This can be done and its not hard to do. This is an issue of ‘will we’ not ‘can we’.

science of what we need to do to fight COVID-19. It is has caused all of us to have to sacrifice longer than was needed to get this under control.
This is an example of what you get when you add a positive number to a negative number, the positive number takes a hit.
