One of my areas of interest is finding a solution so that donations to effective charities are tax deductible in Austria.

> And yet, if I had only said, “there is no way that online video will meaningfully contribute to economic growth,” I would have been right.

online video conferencing saved parts of the economy from shutdown during COVID. The trend seems somewhat persistent post-pandemic and may save lots of time commuting/traveling
online education has grown enormously but I‘m not sure this would get picked up in GDP numbers. I’m India right now and almost everyone on a commuter train watched a video lecture on their phone. I’ve fixed multiple things in my home thanks to ‚youtube university ’ for which i would have needed to hire a professional otherwise.

Rob also mentions something about nuclear fallout not spreading easily towards the southern hemisphere.
