Thanks for making this collection! One thing I don’t think has been mentioned yet is the “sample syllabus on existential risks” from the website associated with The Precipice.
This is a sample syllabus on existential risk, intended as a helpful resource for people developing courses on existential risk — in schools, universities, independent reading groups, or elsewhere. It assumes that those participating have access to The Precipice, so takes this as the central text.
The syllabus is divided into 10 topics, covering many facets of existential risk. One could remove, add, or merge topics to cater to longer or shorter course. Each topic has one or two highlighted readings (marked with an asterisk) and supplementary readings for those who wish to explore further. There are also a few key questions to guide thinking and discussion.
The syllabus is by no means comprehensive, and I’m very open to suggestions on how it could be improved or made more helpful to educators. Please send any comments to syllabus@theprecipice.com.
