I just published an op-ed for the International Science Council (@isc).

Angry optimism
https://council.science/current/blog/open-science-round-up-july-2023/

"[I'm not assuming] that better access to knowledge translates easily or automatically into better understanding and use of that knowledge. #OpenAccess is compatible with all kinds of failure to act with intelligence and compassion. I’m concerned here with the opposite error, the pessimism of thinking that OA is merely academic or that it makes no difference to real-world suffering."
