About the event

AUTHOR APPEARANCE: Jonathan Jiang & Philip Rosen, "Avoiding the Great Filter"
Avoiding the Great Filter: Illuminating Pathways to Humanity's Future in the Cosmos

At the pinnacle of technological prowess, humanity is uniquely empowered to bring about its own collapse.

In their fascinating narrative, JIANG and ROSEN leverage their broad professional experiences to explore pathways that transcend basic survival to arrive at a thriving advanced technological society extending into the vast, mysterious universe. Their solutions point the way to a prosperous multi-world future, providing a comprehensive roadmap for humanity to overcome existential threats and flourish on Earth and beyond.

...an inspiring, no-nonsense guide to securing humanity’s future! The authors explain complex risks—nuclear war, climate collapse, and AI—in clear, everyday language, then offer practical solutions you can actually imagine happening.
