Credit Bill MacAskill for a Big Think piece. It’s not every day, after all, that we’re asked to take a “million-year view” or to allow our imaginations to roam about in celestial star clusters populated by hypothetical humans a thousand generations from now. Love the chutzpah. Unfortunately, the correlation between a book’s ambition and its brilliance is not always linear. With What We Owe the Future, it’s inverse.
