Long Termism Summary
It is clear for anyone who is willing to look, we are living at one of the most dangerous periods in human history with our species facing clear existential risks.

The Case for Longtermism
Imagine living the life of every human being who has ever existed — in order of birth. Your first life begins about 300,000 years ago in Africa.

Are we alone in the universe?
Two Earth-size planets found orbiting a sun-like star less than a thousand light-years away. This comes two weeks after the stunning announcement of another planet orbiting another star at precisely the right distance — within the “habitable zone” that is not too hot and not too cold — to allow for liquid water and therefore possible life.
The X-Risk Ecosystem
There can be no doubt but that the needs of the citizens of the planet earth are aligned and one. We need to urgently create pathways that pull humanity back from the accelerating existential risks waiting for us on the precipice of self-extinction and create a new ethos, a new story that takes us past those risks to an age of abundance.
