Post scarcity civilizations & cognitive enhancement
Foresight Institute, September 4, 2020
Abstract
Anders will present a cherry-picked selection of his epic Grand Futures book project: What is available in the “nearer-term” for life if our immature civilization can make it past the tech/insight/coordination hurdles? We’ll focus on post-scarcity civilizations to get a sense of what is possible just past current human horizons in the hope it may inspire us to double down on solving humanity’s current challenges to unlock this next level.
