In human history, wars and plagues have done so on more than one occasion, and misguided ideologies and totalitarian regimes have darkened an entire era or a region. Advances in technology are adding dangers of a new kind. It could happen again. In Global Catastrophic Risks 25 leading experts look at the gravest risks facing humanity in the 21st century, including asteroid impacts, gamma-ray bursts, Earth-based natural catastrophes, nuclear war, terrorism, global warming, biological weapons, totalitarianism, advanced nanotechnology, general artificial intelligence, and social collapse. The book also addresses over-arching issues - policy responses and methods for predicting and managing catastrophes. This is invaluable reading for anyone interested in the big issues of our time; for students focusing on science, society, technology, and public policy; and for academics, policy-makers, and professionals working in these acutely important fields.}, + googlebooks = {X5jdMyJKNL4C}, + isbn = {978-0-19-157849-6}, + langid = {english}, + file = {/home/lino/Documents/20-29 Plan, Research & Learn/23 Literature/bostrom2008_global catastrophic risks.pdf} +} + @book{earley2012, title = {Self-{{Therapy}}: {{A Step-By-Step Guide}} to {{Creating Wholeness}} and {{Healing Your Inner Child Using IFS}}, {{A New}}, {{Cutting-Edge Psychotherapy}}}, shorttitle = {Self-{{Therapy}}}, diff --git a/content/concepts/attachments/Pasted image 20240323133905.png b/content/concepts/attachments/Pasted image 20240323133905.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ce67eb9 Binary files /dev/null and b/content/concepts/attachments/Pasted image 20240323133905.png differ diff --git a/content/concepts/catasthrophic-risk.md b/content/concepts/catasthrophic-risk.md index b41af2a..a5f423e 100644 --- a/content/concepts/catasthrophic-risk.md +++ b/content/concepts/catasthrophic-risk.md @@ -1,3 +1,15 @@ --- title: Catastrophic Risk --- + +## Definition + +According to @bostrom2008, **catastrophic risks** are risks "that might have the +potential to inflict serious damage to human well-being on a global scale" +(p. 1) + +They offer the following taxonomy: + +![[Pasted image 20240323133905.png]] + +## Bibliography
