TED-Ed's video on What if You Lived Every Human Life is inspired by the thought experiment in Will MacAskill's new book What We Owe the Future. It centers around the idea that if you could truly put yourself in everyone else's shoes, the way that you live your life would be radically different. While you can't actually "live every human life", there are actions that you can take to make the lives that currently exist and will exist much better. In this article, we'll outline some potential next steps for exploring this possibility.
