Major global problems (according to '80,000 hours', anyway)source=pocket&utm_campaign=2023-Q1-pocket-new-tab-problem-profiles&utm_medium=advert This is one that I have researched a lot - risk of 'stable totalitarainism'https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/risks-of-stable-totalitarianism/ They say it's a lowish risk, 5% risk in the next 1,000 years. Or perhaps the risk is we get a divided globe, the more connected, wired, regions become stable totalitarianocracies, there are also less wiired areas where you can escape total surveillance, but to live there you also have to abjure things like modern healthcare (of course some os us might think, if there is an epidemic of iatrogenic diseases, that such abjuration is no bad thing - but if you break a leg, at age 60 ??) What does anyone else think ?
