I mean this with all earnestness that this is one of the most beautiful things I've seen this year; the little person that thrashed in your head when you heard The Money Store escaped and made a video: https://t.co/RWfbqV7LpN
This new paper really upends conventional narratives about international development. Basically, poor countries are developing rich countries, not the other way around. I'll highlight the key points in the thread below:

@SpyPartyFans Started watching last night's VOD intending to skip around, but then got so engrossed I made several jokes in the chat before I remembered it was a recording.
I keep coming back to this liking it more. Fantastic example of an audio/visual album that has two fairly distinct identities; I've watched the video and then listened to the audio alone and for both I come away with something that makes me glad I'm alive for this. Sincere!
@LtHummus Also the game is so good at being compelling & difficult that so far I've tried to 100% as I progress, which leads to a wildly varied difficulty curve...but I kind of like it. Which I think means my ideal difficulty curve isn't as smooth as I thought it was.
@LtHummus I'm shocked at what a good mechanic clinging to walls/climbing turned out to be. It goes against a lot of what I assumed to be necessary for tough platformers.
@chrisabowyer @KrazyCaley My problem is that either direction can be swallowed by the other: if "true happiness" is adherence to duty, then utilitarianism demands duty based ethics.
@chrisabowyer @KrazyCaley @AlexanderBlum0 He may be referencing categorical imperative, which doesn't cling to happiness calculation (even if incidentally it does maximize happiness). Agree with idea that happiness maximizing is so common that usually discussions are "what is actual happiness" or "how do we maximize it".
