How do we compare working on reducing catastrophe with improving the quality of the future? We introduce a simple model (EV ≈ S*F) and use the 'scale, neglectedness, tractability' framework to argue that improving *Flourishing* is of comparable priority to increasing the chance of *Surviving*.| Forethought

Forethought argues improving future quality matters as much as survival: flourishing has greater scale.| Forethought
