Against Altruism

By Arjun Khemani

Arjun deliberates on the the inherent uncertainty of predicting the future, and the difficulties this poses to altruism aimed in some part on improving the wellbeing of future generations, whose goals and preferences we cannot know. An ethic of present day progress may be critical to bridge this uncertainty.

by avaa411

avaa probes the question of whether society and its cultural characteristics are deterministically downstream of technology. While this claim has existed since the Industrial Revolution, one observes an increasing role for technology in shaping subjective experiences at the social level.
