Where

Online, from Los Angeles.

Why

The founder’s long view, labeled as belief: the most useful thing anyone can learn is how to build carefully.

• Fact: the Sun is slowly brightening. Solar models give Earth roughly one to two billion habitable years (Schröder & Smith 2008; Wolf & Toon 2015).
• Open question: life may be rare. Earth is the only place we know it exists.
• Belief: humanity should become spacefaring and, in time, carry life beyond the solar system.
• Speculation: if a superintelligence is ever built, it might help preserve life and even restart it elsewhere. Nobody knows whether that’s possible, and we label it that way.

How it works

Courses are paid. Join the waitlist on perlasuniversity.com. Some courses cover advanced AI, including the speculative idea that future superintelligence could help carry life beyond Earth, labeled as speculation.
