    What We Owe the Future

    An Oxford philosopher makes the case for “longtermism”—that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time 
     
    The fate of the world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more—or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today. 
      
    In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; counter the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human. 
      
    If we put humanity’s course to right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope, and beauty.

    Western civilization is generally regarded as the child of Athens, Jerusalem, and Rome. That is, in the West, our philosophical and political thought is derived from that of the ancient Greeks; our Christian religion comes from the Jewish religion, and both of these came to us via the Roman Empire. 
     
     
     
    Western society has other forefathers as well: we would be unwise to give the Byzantine Empire short shrift. The ways in which it has influenced our world for the good, and indeed, created the parameters of our society at its healthiest and strongest, are insufficiently appreciated today. 
     
     
     
    If the United States were to last as long as the Roman Empire, including its Byzantine period, it would have to continue as an independent country until the year 2899. To maintain a unified nation state for over eleven hundred years is a remarkable achievement by any standard, and the Romans accomplished it while facing existential threats and efforts to extinguish their polity during virtually every period of their existence. Now, nearly six hundred years after the demise of the empire, its influence still resonates in a number of fields. 
     
     
     
    There is no arguing with success. It's time we took notice.

It was fixated the coast of Lebanon, with some seaside parts of modern-day Syria and Galilee included for good procedure, varying as far north as Arwad and as far south as Acre and perhaps Gaza. Phoenician civilization stretched the Mediterranean from Cyprus to the Iberian Peninsula between 1100 and 200 BC. 
    The Phoenicians were a Semitic-speaking people who appeared in the Levant roughly 3000 BC and spoke a Semitic language.
