This is an important project. Communicating about complex systems is essential to human survival.

Scientists, policymakers, forest firefighters... all of them already use simulations to experiment with real-world systems. Sadly, these sims aren’t usually meant to be used or understood by us, the public — the very people those systems impact the most.
This may seem like a depressing outcome, but I took away a more hopeful message: evil systems can still be filled with good people. We just gotta be very, very clever, and compassionate, to help them find their goodness.
