Alexander Zaitchik on Effective Altruism + Longtermism
Nov. 30, 2022, 4:17 a.m.
As the news that thirty year-old cryptocurrency baron, Sam Bankman-Fried's, FTX empire suddenly collapsed, the residual effects reverberated in the spheres of business, politics and philanthropy. Bankman-Fried was one of the largest donors to and a huge proponent of effective altruism, a social and philosophical movement started by academics Peter Singer, Toby Ord, and William MacAskill. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to author and journalist Alexander Zaitchik to learn more about the effective altruism movement and its offshoot known as "longtermism." We discuss how longtermism sprung from effective altruism, how the downfall of Bankman-Fried might change the mega-philanthropy space moving forward, and how the movement all too often ignores the immediate threat of climate change.

TUC Archives: The Quest for Water and the American West
Nov. 29, 2022, 10:50 p.m.
This is Part TWO of the history of San Francisco. The town that grew from 16 houses on sand dunes in 1850 to the largest city on the West Coast in only 30 years.
Gray Brechin explains in the first chapter of his book Imperial San Francisco how the gold rush connected two major factors for city building: A swelling of the population and the growth of investment capital.
But the mix of people and money was lacking another major ingredient: water. As the first wave of destruction of California was brought about by gold mining, the second wave was caused by the damming of rivers, and the flooding of land for reservoirs, even eventually inside the protected space of Yosemite National Park.
Brechin also explains the connection between the building of Los Angles and the draining of farmland in the Owens Valley. He ends with an intriguing sketch of the creation of the Bureau of Reclamation. They made the quest for water a national issue. The Bureau claimed to supply water to small farmers but ended up becoming the greatest builder of cities.
And as this program from the TUC Radio archives is re-broadcast in early December 2022, an extraordinary news item from November 17 headlines that: “The largest dam demolition in history is approved for a Western river. ... Two weeks ago U.S. regulators approved a plan to demolish four dams on the Klamath river and open up hundreds of miles of salmon habitat. That would be the largest dam removal and river restoration project in the world when it goes forward.”

This time on The Children's Hour, we learn about climate change from Dr. David Gutzler, professor emeritus at the University of New Mexico in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department with a specialization in climate science.
We learn what causes climate change, and what we can expect in the future if we make no changes. It is especially concerning to children that many adults are not taking the actions needed to stop catastrophes. Dr. Gutzler helps us understand why changing behavior and technologies to address the warming planet, is so difficult for many to adopt.
The Kids Crew wanted to know how they can help save animals from extinction due to climate change, and how they can get global decision-makers to address the crisis of their lifetimes. We also find out about melting ice sheets, and how the added water to our oceans will impact communities worldwide.
Kids are leaders in the climate change movement today. We hear music honoring our beautiful planet, the activists who are standing up for future generations.
This show is mixed with inspiring music to motivate listeners to care about our Planet Earth.
