In this episode of the 80,000 Hours Podcast, Rob Wiblin and Tom Moynihan discuss Tom's recent book X-Risk: How Humanity Discovered Its Own Extinction and the history of ideas about extinction and the nature of history. I found this episode of the 80,000 Hours podcast really fascinating and am posting it here to spur discussion.
