This is a really important book. The core argument is that our single biggest moral obligation is to the countless billions of people we hope will be born in the future. They're invisible to us. They shouldn't be. They represent the future of consciousness.      source

It’s pub day for @willmacaskill’s What We Owe The Future today! I have a nitpicky post about longtermism tomorrow so let me say today this is a really good book that you should read.      source
