Have you ever wondered about who actually studies end of the earth scenarios? What signs should we expect from an impending apocalypse? RiskyBusiness seeks to answer these questions with academics, artists and specialists working or thinking about existential risk. Existential risk is an emerging discipline that focuses on the study of risks and potential events that could cause civilizational collapse, drastically curtail humanity's potential or completely destroy it. I set up this podcast to improve our thinking about such risks that has given us a 1/10 chance in our survival for the 21st C.

RiskyBusiness Episode 1 | Phil Torres on existential risk, its origins and longterminism

RiskyBusiness is a podcast discussing existential risk with academics, artists and specialists. In this first episode, I discuss the definitions of XR, longterminism and risks to humanity that Phil is concerned about. Phil Torres is an author and scholar currently completing his PhD in the epistemic status of computer simulations and their use in stratospheric engineering.
