Christian Tarsney

Christian Tarsney is a philosopher at Oxford's Global Priorities Institute, focusing on ethics and decision theory. He delves into the concept of 'future bias', explaining how people often value future experiences more than past ones, even preferring more pain in the past over less in the future. The conversation also addresses moral fanaticism and the ethical implications of long-termism, emphasizing the importance of balancing present and future considerations in decision-making. Tarsney challenges listeners to rethink their views on morality and time.
