Audacious Action

November 15, 2018 Phil Accelerating Tech Comments Off on Audacious Action

In our recent show about Outrageous Optimism https://youtu.be/R91LqaxqfpI, we discussed how one bold idea — one outrageously optimistic idea — may do more to end suffering from disease than anything that’s come before.

We begin by taking a look at things that can wipe us out:

Global Catastrophic Risk https://bit.ly/1RdSHle

Man-made

Global warming
Biotechnology
Cyberattack
Environmental disaster
Mineral resource exhaustion
Experimental technology accident
Nanotechnology
Warfare and mass destruction
World population and agricultural crisis

Natural

Asteroid impact
Extraterrestrial invasion
Natural climate change
Cosmic threats
Geomagnetic reversal
Global pandemic
Volcanism

Can we address these threats with audacious action? (Or more to the point — can we address them with anything else?)
