Climate Change Optimism

Sam Harris and William MacAskill discuss the challenges of addressing climate change and the potential for sweeping moral change in society's concern for future generations. They explore the historical examples of social and moral movements, such as environmentalism, and highlight the possibility of shifting common sense morality to prioritize the well-being of future generations. Despite differing levels of optimism, both speakers hold out hope for a future where concern for the environment and future generations becomes widespread.
