In this interactive session, Max Clarke will discuss with us why we might prioritise existential risks (things that might cause the extinction of humanity, or something equally bad). We will also discuss how this relates to long-termism (the idea that future people matter just as much as present people.

Afterwards (around 6:30/ 7:00) we will head down to the Arborist bar for anyone who is interested to talk more and catch up!

This session will be held in room KK204 at Kelburn Campus. The room is on floor 2 of Kirk Building. Please be aware the doors to the university stop automatically opening past 6 pm, and to leave the university level 3 is easiest without a pass after this time. While we run events at the university our group is comprised of both students and professionals. Anyone is welcome to join!
