Effective Altruism Netherlands presents 'Introduction to Longtermism' 

First 20 signups get free vegan pizza delivery!<h2>Why longtermism?</h2>Pandemics, climate change, substantial risks due to unaligned artificial intelligence... we are facing larger challenges then ever, which could severely cause suffering on a large scale and damage the potential of future populations. There is an increase in focusing on the long-term (rather then the next 100 years) both within as well as &#x27;outside&#x27; the Effective Altruism movement. The number of people alive today pales in comparison to the number who could exist in the future. It may therefore be extremely important to ensure that human civilization flourishes far into the future, enjoying fulfilling lives free of suffering.The reason we want to organize this event is that we think Longtermism is a very important area within Effective Altruism, but that relatively little attention is paid to it within EA Netherlands yet.We would therefore like to offer reasonably introductory content for a starting audience on this topic. The goal is to inform and enthuse more people focusing on the long-term future.<h2>What will you learn? </h2>Inspiring speakers who have studied different aspects of longtermism will give an overview of the field; what is longtermism and what do we consider &#x27;long-term&#x27;? What subfields are there? What are current focus areas within longtermism? Is it even possible to positively influence the longterm future? Is there evidence, or do we need to work on collecting evidence? What career paths are currently seen as very promising? What can you do?
