This<br>document is the reverse: an epitaph summarizing what the Future of Humanity Institute was, what we<br><div>did and why, what we learned, and what we think comes next.</div><div><br></div>It can be seen as an oral history of FHI from some of its members. It will not be unbiased, nor complete,<br>but hopefully a useful historical source. I have received input from other people who worked at FHI, but<br>it is my perspective and others would no doubt place somewhat different emphasis on the various<br><div>strands of FHI work.</div><div>----------------</div><div>BillK<br></div></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 18 Apr 2024 at 12:34, BillK <<a href="mailto:pharos@gmail.com" target="_blank">pharos@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Established in 2005, initially for a 3-year period, the Future of<br>

Quote:<br>
Over time FHI faced increasing administrative headwinds within the<br>
Faculty of Philosophy (the Institute’s organizational home). Starting<br>
in 2020, the Faculty imposed a freeze on fundraising and hiring. In<br>
late 2023, the Faculty of Philosophy decided that the contracts of the<br>
remaining FHI staff would not be renewed. On 16 April 2024, the<br>
Institute was closed down.<br>
