Existential Hope

Project from the Foresight Institute collecting expert interviews, essays and worldbuilding on plausible good long-term futures rather than only the risks.

Why I recommend it: A deliberate counterweight if the safety reading has left you gloomy. It is advocacy for optimism, so read it as a position, not a finding.

Existential Hope Meme Prize

Open prize for images, memes and short media that communicate a hopeful, concrete vision of the long-term future, with published entries and awards.

From the site: Make something short and shareable about a realistic, hopeful future. The best short-form media wins $10,000.

Details: A low-barrier way to get creative work in front of this community. Read the past winners before entering.
