• The Limitless Future w/ Thomas Moynihan

  We now understand that the future is not fixed but contingent – it can unfold in an endless number of ways, its outcome hinging on both choice and chance. When did humans discover that the future is undecided, and what did it mean? We’re joined by Thomas Moynihan, a thinker and author interested in X-risk, deep possibility, planetary-scale thinking, and the history of human self-understanding. Thomas Moynihan’s upcoming book is The History of Contingency and Future-Oriented Thought.Subscribe to FARSIGHT in print by becoming a ⁠Futures Member⁠ at the Institute.Hosts: Casper Skovgaard Petersen & August Leo LiljenbergGuest: Thomas MoynihanPublished by the ⁠Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies

  Once a minor concern, migration now ranks as one of Europe’s top political issues among voters.

• Pax Geriatrica w/ Mark Haas

  As the world grows older, will it also become more peaceful by consequence?We speak to Mark Haas, Professor of Political Science at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and author of The Geriatric Peace: Population Aging and the Decline of War (Oxford University Press). Ageing, Haas says, will not only increase the cost and lessen the preferences and capacity for war in aged countries - it will also likely prevent a great power transition from the US to China.
