​

​

Aspirational Reading: 

Mogensen, “Maximal cluelessness”

  1. Beckstead argues in favor of conducting actions today which have ripple effects and help the long term future. This dissertation pushed me towards the camp of longtermism in practical ethics.

  2. While I disagree with some of the policy conclusions of Bostrom tentatively suggests in this paper, I think Bostrom does a great job at highlighting the problems posed by technology which has the potential to cause a catastrophe.
