Effective Altruism

Does begin with ethical progress.

Takes 3 issues:

1. Disease
2. Factory farming
3. Existential risk - nukes, AI, geoengineering (climate), pandemics
   1. Pandemic is not an existential risk. There is the concept of Threshold Population in parasitology.
   2. Nukes. At most wipes out about 1/2 the global population. See All the Bombs.
   3. Geoengineering - hydrogen economy is nigh, there is a case for [[Distributed Market Substitution] immediately.
   4. AI - this magnifies human ignorance, making it quite dangerous - prior to a cultural shift towards essential ethics
