We can have it all

Early in his education, Malcolm noticed a contradiction; we constantly hear about everything that’s wrong with the world, but most evidence shows things are getting better. After graduating from college, he began working for Human Progress, an organization dedicated to publicizing long-term improvements in human well-being. Malcolm is currently focused on countering the narrative that modern civilization is at odds with the rest of life on Earth, an idea he believes could jeopardize humanity’s future.

Sweating and simmering

Malcolm is happiest when hiking, swimming in rivers, and foraging in the woods. Living in downtown D.C. makes those activities rare, but he gets along by periodically expropriating a friend’s car and heading to the Shenandoah. Between trips, he enjoys domestic and urban pleasures like cooking stews and public bathing.
