Dystopian Futures of Astronomical Suffering | Documentary about S-risks and Longtermism
What dystopian futures might await humanity and how might we avoid them? The rise of “longtermism” has seen a surge of academic interest in the vast positive future potential of an Earth-originating civilization. This movement has accompanied a growing concern about potential existential risks which could curtail our vast potential. Rogue artificial intelligence, nuclear war, and climate change could all pose existential threats to our future. There may, however, be future scenarios that can be considered worse than our extinction. This video explores the developing field of “s-risks” or “suffering risks.” These are dystopian scenarios in which the reach and scale of a future civilization becomes the stage of astronomical suffering that exceeds all suffering that has has existed on Earth so far. This video explores a range of potential s-risks as well as what we might do to prevent them.
