Instructions
We have a new location for our meetup spot, now that the accursed scourge of winter is nipping at our heels! Meet inside The Shops at Waterloo Town Square, I will be at one of the three long benches in the centre of the long walkway, look for an Asian gal in white boots. [1]
We’ll hang out for half an hour there to catch latecomers, then go get food, and then walk to my apartment nearby and hang out in the amenity room.
Topic & Readings
This week we talk about longtermism, a fascinating view that seemed to have emerged out of the effective altruism movement over the past decade.

This week we talk about longtermism, a fascinating view that seemed to have emerged out of the effective altruism movement over the past decade.
We will discuss two recent Kurzgesagt videos:
The Last Human—A Glimpse Into the Far Future
Is Civilization on the Brink of Collapse?
For bonus marks, read the introduction to longtermism from the effective altruism website.
