Applicants to the community are screened with an in-person interview, a criminal-background check, a questionnaire about ancestral heritage and sometimes even photographs of their relatives. The community’s two architects — a classically trained French horn player who has livestreamed his own sex videos, and a former jazz pianist arrested but not charged for attempted murder in Ecuador — say they must personally confirm that applicants are white before they can be welcomed in.
WE LIVE ON A RADIOACTIVE PLANET. Soil, rocks, and even the air we breathe and the water we drink contain what’s called background radiation. Oil and gas extraction bring to the surface some of Earth’s most interesting, and notorious, radioactive elements. Radium levels in the deposits accumulated on the inside of oil and gas pipes can be 400,000 times those of background radiation. Yet radioactive oil and gas waste, unlike that from the nuclear and medical industries, is not regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The Environmental Protection Agency does not regulate it either. In fact, a sweeping 1980 federal exemption—the Bentsen and Bevill Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act—defines radioactive oil and gas field waste as “non-hazardous.”
What keeps you working in public interest technology? The communities and the people. I’m always thinking about the specific communities I’m designing content for. Right now, that’s riders in the Greater Boston area. Everyone I work with is so committed to making sure riders have access to the resources they need and trust our services. It reminds me of that first school club I joined at UCLA, designing for nonprofits. I loved getting to learn about the communities those nonprofits worked with. Public interest tech for me is about the people, the communities, and getting to know them better — that relationship gives me energy.
