Existential Hope Special: Six Hopeful Visions of the Future


Listen Later

Speaker

Beatrice Erkers reads six Existential Hope Scenarios. Beatrice is the program manager of the Existential Hope program, and Chief of Operations at Foresight Institute. The positive scenarios were a collaborative output from our 2023 Existential Hope Day attendees.


Session Summary

This podcast has been created from our 2023 Existential Hope Day, held earlier this year. This workshop aimed to provide a forum for enhancing our conceptual clarity of what positive futures might look like. This includes understanding the what, how, and why of various ideas to determine their relevance and potential impact. The discussions aimed to deepen our understanding of the term ‘Existential Hope’ and similar concepts, probe why these concepts might have been sidelined, and delve into specific future visions.


The Scenarios

  • AI-Enabled Personal Flourishing
  • Multigenerational Habitat in Space
  • Epistemic Revolution
  • Good Singularity
  • Flying Cows
  • Human-AI Partnership / Paretopia


Dive into our 2023 Existential Hope Day: Report


Existential Hope was created to collect positive and possible scenarios for the future so that more people can commit to creating a brighter future, and to begin mapping out the main developments and challenges that need to be navigated to reach it. Existential Hope is a Foresight Institute project.
