How to make a better world: A. C. Grayling

A. C. Grayling | Jeremy Moss

It’s easy to feel a sense of powerlessness where every morning we’re greeted with news of climate catastrophes, grave social injustice and senseless violence. So how can we muster the courage to forge a new path and turn things around? Is it still possible to make the world a better place? 

Join philosopher A. C. Grayling as he first shares the pragmatic solutions and answers to the big challenges that are troubling us today – climate change, technology and justice – followed by an in-conversation with UNSW’s Jeremy Moss. Together they will span everything from the small personal changes we can make in our lives to transform the world for good to how we can work together as a community to decarbonise the economy. 

This event is presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas as part of UNSW Alumni’s Learn to Lead program and supported by the Byron Writers Festival.

Humans tend to change only when they're faced with an existential crisis. So professor is quite right to assume that natural evolutionary processes will impose the change on us even if people are reluctant to embrace the change.

Eventually the sun will expand and become a red giant.
The earth will then be incinerated.
Much better.
