>Well, not like you since you’re genuinely trying to solve real-world problems.

Clarification: I'm not actively trying to help people, I just enjoy thinking about institutions in my spare time. Here are some relevant HN comments of mine to give a sense:

* fixing gerrymandering https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33517757

* settling antarctica as the planet warms https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33483424

* depolarizing social media https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33483177

* fixing america's constitutional amendment process https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33355325

* getting hedge funds to actually be useful https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33274789

* combining the best aspects of both capitalism and socialism https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32972790 -- more details here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32974503

I don't have much formal training in this stuff so you should take all these proposals with a grain of salt.
