The Most Important Moral Question You've Never Considered
What if I told you that 99.5% of all human lives haven't been lived yet? That every decision you make today-from your career choice to how you vote-ripples forward through millennia, shaping the lives of trillions? We obsess over quarterly earnings and election cycles, yet remain blind to our most profound responsibility: the vast ocean of humanity stretching ahead. If our species survives just as long as the typical mammal, eighty trillion people will come after us, outnumbering everyone alive today ten thousand to one. They cannot vote, protest, or speak for themselves. They are utterly powerless. And their fate rests partly in our hands. This isn't abstract philosophy-it's the most pressing moral challenge of our time, one that's reshaping how tech leaders, policymakers, and thinkers approach everything from artificial intelligence to climate change.
