Moral Philosopher Will MacAskill on What We Owe The Future

Subscribe to LifeNotes 👉 https://go.aliabdaal.com/lifenotes_deepdiveHow can we do the most good with our careers, money and lives? And what are the things that we can do right now, to positively impact future generations to come? This is the mission of the Effective Altruism (EA) movement co-founded by Will McAskill, Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Oxford and co-founder of nonprofits Giving What We Can, the Centre for Effective Altruism, and Y Combinator-backed 80,000 Hour. In the conversation, me and Will talk about the fundamentals of EA, his brand new book 'What We Owe The Future', the idea of 'longtermism', the most pressing existential threats humanity is facing and what we can do about them, why giving away your income will make you happier, why your career choice is the biggest choice you’ll make in your life and much more. 🔗 CONNECT WITH WILL 📕Get 50% off Will's new book 'What We Owe The Future' with the code ALI50 via this link 👉https://bookshop.org/books/what-we-owe-the-future/9781541618626🐦 Twitter 💻 Website🔗 CONNECT WITH ALI💌  Sign up to my weekly email newsletter🎥 YouTube Channel💻 Website📸  Instagram🐦  Twitter👥 Linkedin💙  The Friendzone DiscordFind the show notes and the transcript on the website: https://aliabdaal.com/podcast/Sponsored by ShortformThis episode is kindly brought to you by Shortform, the world's best provider of guides for non-fiction books.
