Ex­is­ten­tial Choices De­bate Week

TagLast edit: Mar 17, 2025, 9:59 AM by Toby Tremlett🔹

March 17 − 23 will be Existential Choices Debate Week on the EA Forum. We’ll be discussing the debate statement “On the margin, it is better to work on reducing the chance of our extinction than increasing the value of futures where we survive”.

...but is in­creas­ing the value of fu­tures tractable?
