In his major new book What We Owe The Future: A Million-Year View, Will MacAskill argues that we need to care about people thousands and even millions of years in the future. On September 1 he came to Intelligence Squared to argue that influencing the very long term is the most urgent moral priority of our times – because the fate of future generations depends on the decisions that we make in our lifetimes.
In conversation with Will MacAskill is Max Roser, Director of the Oxford Martin Programme on Global Development and founder and editor of Our World in Data.
