    The Limitless Future w/ Thomas Moynihan

    We now understand that the future is not fixed but contingent – it can unfold in an endless number of ways, its outcome hinging on both choice and chance. When did humans discover that the future is undecided, and what did it mean? We’re joined by Thomas Moynihan, a thinker and author interested in X-risk, deep possibility, planetary-scale thinking, and the history of human self-understanding. Thomas Moynihan’s upcoming book is The History of Contingency and Future-Oriented Thought. Subscribe to FARSIGHT in print by becoming a ⁠Futures Member⁠ at the Institute.
