Listen to “Progress Studies in 2020 with Jason Crawford” on Spreaker.

I returned to Village Global’s Venture Stories podcast with Erik Torenberg to discuss:

• The key aspects of human progress
• The history of progress over time
• Whether we’ve traded off progress for safety
• Why the idea of progress is relatively new
• What the nature of science fiction writing tells us about our vision for progress
• Why progress happens differently in different domains
• How to think about safety with respect to new technologies
• The impacts of slowing population growth
