TagLast edit: May 13, 2025, 7:36 PM by Dane Valerie

March 17–23, 2025 was Existential Choices Debate Week on the EA Forum. Discussions centered around 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.”
