What a gripping read, I’m glad I ordered the book a few weeks ago when reading up on existential risks, and now I can’t wait to get the book! I went into the topic (longtermism) not knowing (or knowing?) that I don’t care, but I find myself slowly opening up to understanding how deep the impact of how the Earth has evolved and how past generations have had such a hand in what shapes everything that we do today, that truly, we do owe the future. The next read, whilst I wait for the book to arrive, is ‘Why I find longtermism hard, and what keeps me motivated’, and I’m eager to see how that holds—both this chapter and how I receive and respond to it.
