Hey all
I thought it would be interesting to have a thread in HLF about what we believe some of the biggest global issues are, why they're not yet solved, and what we think could or should be done about them.
If you like having structured questions, this might a nice way to start:
What do you think the top 1-3 biggest issues facing the world are, and why haven't they been solved?
I personally think that increasingly intelligent AI is not too far into the future, and is going to cause some major disruption. If humanity doesn't make it there then I'd guess it'd be because of some kind of nuclear disaster. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Here's some hot topics from the news lately: climate change, gender equality, risks from AI, nuclear security, poverty, health, and more...
If you're interested in finding out more about what other people have to say about global issues, have a look at these links:
United Nations - Global Issues Overview
http://www.un.org/en/sections/issues-depth/global-issues-overview/
World Economic Forum - What are the 10 biggest global challenges?
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/what-are-the-10-biggest-global-challenges/
80,000 Hours - List of Global Problems
https://80000hours.org/articles/cause-selection/
Looking forward to reading your responses
