I would like to offer an award of 50 USD for new ideas to the roadmap:

“Plan of Action to Prevent Human Extinction Risks”

 

Do you know a lot about transhumanism, existential risks, or immortality?

Do you want to earn money from your knowledge, become famous, and save the world?

 

Let’s do an experiment in "reverse crowdfunding”. I will pay 50 USD to anyone who can suggest a new way of X-risk prevention that is not already mentioned in this roadmap. Post your ideas as a comment to this post.

 

Should more than one person have the same idea, the award will be made to the person who posted it first.

The idea must be endorsed by me and included in the roadmap in order to qualify, and it must be new, rational and consistent with modern scientific data.

 

I may include you as a co-author in the roadmap (if you agree).

The roadmap is distributed under an open license GNU.

Payment will be made by PayPal. The total amount of the prize fund is 500 USD (total 10 prizes).

The competition is open until the end of 2015.

 

The roadmap can be downloaded as a pdf from:

I don't think humanity has a serious risk of extinction. We can kill a lot of us by doing some stupid things, and a meteorite can kill a lot of us, but total extinction of every single human in the globe? I can't think of anything that can do that. Here is a good article on the topic (in Spanish, sorry): http://www.lapizarra...sis-improbable/

Mass-consciousness, would probably solve most of our problems and help protect from black-swan existential risks.
