Changelog

New article on Voluntary Censorship.

A little more clarity in the purpose of the site: a project in betterment is a project about choosing ideologies, not adopting the ones thrust upon you. We’ve always really been about this, but it’s pleasant to finally have the elevator pitch. Only took a year and a half to get there since the relaunch of the site in April last year.

In that vein, putting together summaries of the ideologies we explore on articles. Currently we have Voluntary Censorship and Predicting Human Behaviour. See what you think.
