another episode of Conversations with Coleman. My guest today is Will McCaskill. Will is an

associate professor of philosophy at Oxford University.

He's the co-founder and president of the Center for Effective Altruism,

and he's the director of the For Thought Foundation for Global Priorities Research.

In this episode, we discuss his new book, What We O The Future.

We talk about whether we have a moral obligation to the billions

of humans that will be born in the next several thousand years, and how to weigh those obligations

against those of living humans. We discuss population ethics in general and Derek Parfitt's repugnant

conclusion thought experiment. We discussed the role of economic growth in humanity's long-term future and how to weigh

that against present-day wealth inequality.

We discuss the ethics of abortion.

We talk about the notion of moral progress.

We discuss the possible AI futures that lie ahead of us and much more.

So without further ado, Will McCaskill.
