Civilization Collapse? Luke Kemp. Existential Risks.

From BBC Future: Are we on the road to civilization collapse? Luke Kemp

Luke Kemp is a researcher based at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge - which is 'dedicated to the study and mitigation of existential risks;  and aims to reduce the risk of human extinction or civilizational collapse'.

The Centre works 'to understand extreme risks associated with emerging technologies and human activity; and to develop a methodological toolkit to help in identifying and evaluating future extreme risks'.

I sometimes worry about my own existential risks. The Centre (sensibly) has a wider and longer-term focus.

Fascinating. Futurology with a twist.
