OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
I argue that when thinking about policies that might harm or benefit future people, we should place much more weight on worse consequences than on better ones. This follows from the fact that (I will argue) we ought to make decisions under the assumption that future people are very risk-averse. I explore the implications for some practical decisions, such as climate policy.
