The Social Dilemma

3 photos of Alexis in circles, text reads "The social dilemma. Changing the world together."

If you haven’t watched The Social Dilemma (and The Great Hack), I strongly encourage you to do so. Personally, I think they should be required watching and part of the school curriculum.
