This is a pretty good treatment. The shift from focusing on global poverty to focusing on keeping us from killing ourselves off is interesting and complex.

(It's also one I took a long time to come around to. For years I agreed in theory that trying to prevent civilizational catastrophe could be the most important thing to do, but didn't agree that there were tractable projects in this area. After deciding that there are, however, I quit my 'earning to give' job to go work on trying to catch future pandemics earlier.)
