このエピソードについて
In this episode, we introduce the podcast and preview some of the topics covered in succeeding episodes. I introduce myself and define what we mean by existential risks, these being significant threats to the continued existence of humanity. I then discuss what a civilized society is like and how we might be able to achieve that. I conclude by showing that large-scale positive change is possible. The future is what we make if we understand the threats before us and take appropriate action. Links to videos relevant to this episode can be found here:
