What We Owe the Future
William MacaskillChristopher is on Mastodon & Bluesky18. What We Owe The Future by William MacAskill A good introduction to these ideas, but as someone who was already somewhat familiar & sympathetic to #longtermism, EA, & existential risks, I was hopping for a lot more substance on par with the chapter on population ethics. https://t.co/r0aKYGmV1V

Why: The Deeper History Behind the September 11the Terrorist Attack on America -- 3rd Edition Hbk
Jw SmithChristopher is on Mastodon & BlueskyI’ve read a decent # of atheist books, but George H. Smith’s “Why Atheism?” gives probably the best & most comprehensive response to the Ontological Argument I’ve read. Not only does he summarize historical criticisms, he explains why so many skeptics fail to grasp the argument.

Why Atheism?
George H. SmithChristopher is on Mastodon & Bluesky10. Why Atheism? by George H. Smith (RIP) Not a refutation of religion, but an argument for taking #atheism seriously.

The Postmortal
Drew MagaryChristopher is on Mastodon & Bluesky20. The Postmortal by Drew Magary The writing was good but I wanted to enjoy this more. I’m very interested in anti-aging research, population ethics, & dystopias. But the book just never committed to pursuing any of its interesting themes beyond surface level. https://t.co/pyrOtMZKKT
