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. 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 set humanity’s course right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything to give them a world of justice, hope, and beauty.

A lovely grounding for anyone hoping to do good
Revisado: 03-17-24
Overall I think this a great book to ground yourself with when thinking about what path to take in life.
you can have a large impact on humanity and the potentially massive amount of future generations, this book will help you with where to start.
Cons:
there were a few chapters that I found uninteresting, and not particularly necessary. I would've liked to see a little less doomerism and a little more practical application.
I found the narrators speaking cadence was annyoing, far to many pauses for my taste.
I also found one of his arguments concerning; he purposes that care of individual species should be based on neuron count. personally this reaks of eugenics.
