Simulation Argument (Epilogue)
December 5, 2018 · 48 minThere’s one last thing. Maybe the reason why we don’t see other intelligent life, maybe the reason we are in the astoundingly unique position of having to save the future of the human race, is because we are simulated human beings. It…

End

X Risks
November 7, 2018 · 39 minHumanity could have a future billions of years long – or we might not make it past the next century. If we have a trip through the Great Filter ahead of us, then we appear to be entering it now. It looks like existential risks will be our…

Great Filter
November 7, 2018 · 43 minThe Great Filter hypothesis says we’re alone in the universe because the process of evolution contains some filter that prevents life from spreading into the universe. Have we passed it or is it in our future? Humanity’s survival may…

Fermi Paradox
