À propos de ce contenu audio

 On Sunday, November 16, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Robin Hanson to continue the discussion on cultural drift and how civilizational decline can be prevented by positing grand unifying goals that a society can unite around. The discussion will address the feasibility of a unifying goal such as radical life extension, which could be framed in objectively measurable ways, with specific incremental goalposts. It will also delve into the challenge of how to get from the current highly turbulent and polarized political and cultural situation to one in which large segments of society embrace the grand goal and work toward it.
In addition, the discussion will aim to address various viewer questions and observations from the previous Virtual Enlightenment Salon with Robin Hanson of August 25, 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po99ApM8T7s
