Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what William MacAskill said
ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.
Given how much moral progress we should hope to make in the future, and how much we’ll learn about what’s even empirically possible, we should act on the assumption that we have almost no idea what the best feasible futures would look like. Committing today to some particular vision would be a great mistake.
