The Ultimate Goal
We believe a world is possible where things are organized such that every sentient being has the highest chance of naturally feeling as well as possible over time, across all aspects of wellbeing.
The Main Challenges
Reaching it is blocked by real problems: the weight of legacy in our organizations, beliefs, and habits; the sheer complexity of the world and the unclear definition of what’s good or right; and a world where resources are unevenly distributed and real uncertainties — disease, disaster — remain part of the picture.
Our Main Goal
Given our limited resources, HappyBein aims to provide the highest-leverage support toward that vision, as close and as fast as we realistically can.
How We Plan on Achieving It
- We’ve learned a lot about the world — especially what makes sentient beings feel well or unwell, how decisions get made efficiently, the current state of the world, and possible solutions to some of its biggest challenges.
- We’re building tools that help us — and others — make higher-impact decisions, plans, and habit changes.
- We document our research and findings openly, so it’s transparent and usable by anyone.
- We try to approach all of this as objectively as possible, starting close to a blank page rather than assuming the existing answers are right.
