    This year I commissioned a season of articles for about the long-view of humanity, called Deep Civilisation, which has reached more than 3m people. Thank you to everyone who contributed, and to all those who read & shared! Go deep, dive in below👇👇

    Some good examples of long-term thinking, from places of worship to scientific experiments

    Wired fellowship applications are open! In our San Francisco office. This is a good place to work; you should come.

    I've had lunch at this cafe a number of times. It's not fair to judge the staff's response like some have done... honestly if something so utterly out-of-the-norm happened during a typical lunchtime, I'm sure many people, myself included, would struggle to process the urgency.

    On the upside, I guess the rational should in theory be able to notice and adapt their behaviour, if they read this paper

    And um, I kind of felt that the paper was speaking to me

    While I am of course 100% in the facts & evidence camp, what this paper mischievously suggests is that moralized rationality has downsides: fostering negative moral judgements of those with a different worldview, less warmth, more propensity to punish, or to shun socially.

    You can read lots of science about irrational beliefs, but this paper is something different. "Moralized rationality": the perception that it is a moral virtue to hold beliefs based on logic/evidence & to view it as a vice to rely on less rational thinking

    Delighted to see the team back in the UK launch Future Planet today. And an admirable goal to aim to reduce the carbon footprint of the site's journalism by recruiting more international contributors to report locally.

    While all this probably assumes that the world will always bend towards progress and an ever-more civilised state overall - perhaps we've already peaked - I find it clarifying to contemplate how our descendants might perceive the best and the worst of our actions.

    It reminded me of this piece I worked on with a few years ago, asking how our descendants will judge us

    Are we living through a "moral catastrophe"? This paper argues that we almost certainly are, on the basis that almost all societies in history have. The trouble is we may not know how (yet)

    This is a week of great opportunities in science journalism! An absolute dream job, if your dream is to cover both the heavens and earth:

    Before this documentary based on my book premieres tonight, I'd like to thank the terrific writer-director and the wonderful team at for this stunningly good film. So lucky to work with you!

    You have my blessing to use this excuse next time you don't want to go to a party. Your friends and family will immediately understand your point-of-view.

    There's a philosophical argument for never leaving the house, and I am all for it
