The mp3 audio file for Nick Beckstead’s reprise lecture is now online here. The reprise lecture was held 28 Aug 2013, titled On The Overwhelming Importance Of Shaping The Far Future. An online summary for the original lecture is already online here.

The audio file has been edited to remove sections in which the call was temporarily disconnected and other audio issues. However, we left in several stretches in which the audio is inaudible or marginally audible. We want it to be known that while the audio for our online lectures overall works quite well, it is also not always perfect.

The Beckstead lecture is the first and so far only of our online lectures to have an audio recording. We will say more about our lecture recording policy in a separate blog post.
