Histoire
Most of us want to make a difference. We donate our time and money to charities and causes we deem worthy, choose careers we consider meaningful, and patronize businesses and buy products we believe make the world a better place. Unfortunately we often base these decisions on assumptions and emotions rather than facts. As a result even our best intentions often lead to ineffective - and sometimes downright harmful - outcomes. How can we do better?

Histoire
Drought-hit regions bleeding those who for whom a rural life has become untenable. Coastlines diminishing year on year. Wildfires and hurricanes leaving widening swaths of destruction. The culprit, most of us accept, is climate change, but not enough of us are confronting one of its biggest, and most present, consequences: a total reshaping of the earth’s human geography. As Gaia Vince points out early in Nomad Century, global migration has doubled in the past decade, on track to see literal billions displaced in the coming decades.

Histoire
Algorithms and apps analyze data and tell you how to beat the traffic, what books to buy, what music to listen to, and even who to date—often with great results. But what do you do when you face the big decisions of life—the "wild problems" of who to marry, whether to have children, where to move, how to forge a life well-lived—that can’t be solved by measurement or calculation? In Wild Problems, beloved host of EconTalk Russ Roberts offers puzzled rationalists a way to address these wild problems.

Histoire
Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would have used such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. When 1870-2010 ended, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression, uncertainty, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo.

How can you reconcile yourself with the lives you will never lead, with possibilities foreclosed, and with nostalgia for lost youth? How can you accept the failings of the past, the sense of futility in the tasks that consume the present, and the prospect of death that blights the future? In this self-help book with a difference, Kieran Setiya confronts the inevitable challenges of adulthood and middle age, showing how philosophy can help you thrive. You will learn why missing out might be a good thing, how options are overrated, and when you should be glad you made a mistake.

Histoire
Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Histoire
It's no secret that liberalism didn't always live up to its own ideals. In America, many people were denied equality before the law. Who counted as full human beings worthy of universal rights was contested for centuries, and only recently has this circle expanded to include women, African Americans, LGBTQ+ people, and others. Conservatives complain that liberalism empties the common life of meaning. As Francis Fukuyama shows in Liberalism and Its Discontents, the principles of liberalism have also, in recent decades, been pushed to new extremes by both the right and the left.

Histoire
Challenging, with several powerful arguments, some of our deepest beliefs about rationality, morality, and personal identity, Parfit claims that we have a false view about our own nature. It is often rational to act against our own best interests, he argues, and most of us have moral views that are self-defeating. We often act wrongly, although we know there will be no one with serious grounds for complaint, and when we consider future generations it is very hard to avoid conclusions that most of us will find very disturbing.
Auteur(s): Derek Parfit
Description
An Oxford philosopher makes the case for “longtermism”—that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time
The fate of the world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more—or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today.
In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed, counter the end of moral progress, and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human.
If we put humanity’s course to right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope, and beauty.

Carefully thought out without being preachy
I got this book on the advice of Kurzgesagt and I wasn't disappointed. The author made a strong argument, with empirical backing, for effective altruism while still showing his personal response and keeping it interesting. Open minded and flexible while still sticking to ideals.

I feel privileged to have read this book.
I truly enjoyed this, I even laughed out loud, which I was not expecting from a book about effective altruism.
It helped me think about my place in the world with gratitude. The clear distillation of all that research into a pleasant, upbeat learning experience is truly an art.
This is my first time writing a review, done because I feel so strongly that it want others to hear this. I will recommend this to friends and family.

Gives some perspective to challenges we face
Was interesting to have alternative points of view presented on what needs to be done to address the challenges the world faces. Also puts a positive spin on situations I tend to be pessimistic about.

A landmark in naviete
I dont even know where to begin. If you want a summary of all the brainwashing done to the public wrapped in one neat text and sprinkled with naive assumptions and projections into the future, this is the book for you…
I stopped reading when the authot went ahead and made utterly naive projections of how civilization will look like in 10,000 (nobody even 50 years ago could have ever predicted the world we live in now), and just assumed that all limitations we have right now will still apply. Then went on to project these limitations a few billion years into the future.
What broke the camels back was how he suggested that if only people 1000 years ago would have known how they are changing climate and let species get extinct, they could have acted differently yet completely fails to understand that even right now, all developing countries continue to destroy the planet and that they absolutely have no other choice even if they wanted ro. This book is absurd. Written by a child for children.

Detailed but full of naive assumptions
Very detailed in his breakdown of theory which is great.
Long-term view into the future, which makes us think more of our actions today and the impact of those ahead of us.
Intriguing concepts to ponder.
Has lots of naïve assumptions some futuristic theories are based on which makes his conclusions inaccurate … I.e. climate change, world government.
