À propos de cet audio

An Oxford philosopher makes the case for “longtermism”—that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time

The fate of the world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more—or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today.

In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed, counter the end of moral progress, and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human.

If we put humanity’s course to right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope, and beauty.

Eye opening and reassuring at the same time. The world would be better place if everyone took serious what is in this book.

Insightful and informitive

I got this book on the advice of Kurzgesagt and I wasn't disappointed. The author made a strong argument, with empirical backing, for effective altruism while still showing his personal response and keeping it interesting. Open minded and flexible while still sticking to ideals.

Carefully thought out without being preachy

I truly enjoyed this, I even laughed out loud, which I was not expecting from a book about effective altruism.

It helped me think about my place in the world with gratitude. The clear distillation of all that research into a pleasant, upbeat learning experience is truly an art.

This is my first time writing a review, done because I feel so strongly that it want others to hear this. I will recommend this to friends and family.

I feel privileged to have read this book.

This book is a banger. It’s a complex topic but written in a very understandable and digestible way. Probably the most a book has changed how I’ll live my life.

Was interesting to have alternative points of view presented on what needs to be done to address the challenges the world faces. Also puts a positive spin on situations I tend to be pessimistic about.

Gives some perspective to challenges we face
