Better Futures Highlight Week

By Toby Tremlett🔹 @ 2026-04-20T11:27 (+10)

To make the future go better, we can either work to avoid near-term catastrophes like human extinction or improve the futures where we survive. The 'Better Futures' series from Forethought explores that second option. We'll be highlighting it here on the Forum all week. 

Fin Moorhouse (@finm), who authored two chapters in the series along with @William_MacAskill, has agreed to answer a few of your questions. Leave your questions, comments or critiques in this discussion thread.

You can read (and comment) on the full series on the Forum. In order, the chapters are:

• Introducing Better Futures
• No Easy Eutopia
• Convergence and Compromise
• Persistent Path-Dependence
• How to Make the Future Better
• Supplement: The Basic Case for Better futures

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy it, 

Toby.
