Many, though certainly not all, people might believe that it would be wrong to bring about the end of the human species, and the reasons given for this belief are various.

More is the pity that such irrational and obviously abstruse debate should so occupy us at a time of great global turmoil.

According to Yampolskiy and Spellchecker (2016), the probability and seriousness of AI failures will increase with time. We estimate that they will reach their peak between the appearance of the first self-improving AI and the moment that an AI or group of AIs reach global power, and will later diminish, as late-stage ...

The studies of a few cases of earlier CBRN actions have led experts to identify the key characteristics of terrorist groups that could potentially have an interest to use these weapons.

My point is not that rare global catastrophic ‘uncommons’ risks outweigh other risks. That depends on their probability and consequence compared to other risks, and the appropriate response to each will depend on the merits of the policy options. And I do not mean to say that uncommons risks are now (or should be) repl...

In scholarly work, the subfield of disasters is often seen as narrow.

They can’t get offense---we don’t have the power to impose a norm, only to persuade you that their argumentative practices should be rejected---every debate requires a winner and loser by nature, so voting negative doesn’t reject them from debate, it just says they should make a better argument next time

Anderson 6 – Amanda Anderson, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities and English at Brown University, Spring 2006, “Reply to My Critic(s),” Criticism, Vol. 48, No. 2, p. 281-290
How could promoting argument and debate, and promoting reason-giving practices as a common ground that should prevail over assertions of cultural authenticity somehow come to be seen as a dangerous resurgence of bad Enlightenment? Robbins tells us I want "argument on my own terms"- I want to impose reason on people whi...
Arguments stand whether they are persuasive, even an argument in favor of argument. It is not the case that an argument in favor of reasoned debate is tantamount to oppressive power "I am not imagining that your argument is oppressive, but that what you argue for would be, if it were enforced." Yet my book doesn't imag...
Lets first examine the claim that my book is "unwittingly" inviting a resurrection of the "Enlightenment-equals-totalitarianism position." How, one wonders, could a book promoting argument and debate, and promoting reason-giving practices as a kind of common ground that should prevail over assertions of cultural authen...

Life is a prerequisite to value – stop death because it ontologically destroys a subject
Paterson, 03 )
Paterson, 03 – Department of Philosophy, Providence College, Rhode Island (Craig, “A Life Not Worth Living?”, Studies in Christian Ethics, http://sce.sagepub.com)
death in itself is an evil to us because it ontologically destroys the current existent subject The evil of death is truly an ontological evil borne by the person who already exists, independently of calculations about better or worse possible lives Death is an evil because of the change in kind it brings about, a chan...

Contrary to those accounts, I would argue that it is death per se that is really the objective evil for us, not because it deprives us of a prospective future of overall good judged better than the alter- native of non-being. It cannot be about harm to a former person who has ceased to exist, for no person actually suf...

Since means are scarce and ends are abundant, individuals economize in order to accomplish more rather than less. And they always seek to...
