Some ventures are worth starting even if you can't finish them. Creating friendly Artificial Intelligence, defying aging, protecting Earth from asteroids, electrifying the entire world's car fleet, replacing fossil fuels, switching from livestock to lab-grown meat, ending poverty--these are all examples of hyper-visionary ventures that advance human civilization but can take decades if not lifetimes to see through. Too few of us dare start them. Even fewer dare fund them. One of my life's goals is to help shift our civilization’s attention and capital out of trivial pursuits and into civilization-advancing ventures.
