What does it mean to do good? What does it mean to have purpose? What does it mean to contribute to the human endeavor? This book presents a humanist motivating philosophy aimed at answering these questions from a secular and ardently, human focused, position.

What does it mean to do good? What does it mean to have purpose? What does it mean to contribute to the human endeavor? This book presents a humanist motivating philosophy aimed at answering these questions from a secular and ardently, human focused, position. The Sober Altruist is a deep dive into the obligations and missions we should hold towards the prosperity and continuity of our communities, civilizations, and the human species at large. While at first these aims seem lofty and even unreachable to some, the difference between the layman and the Sober Altruist is only this; a choice - a choice to contribute to the great engines of human continuity and advance; a choice to operate in our world with conscientiousness and direction, severity, and aim. The world born, following the historically recent industrialization of our species, requires a different and human-centric worldview, it requires us to hold values that stand in defense of individuals and the species. Our world, though more comfortable and more prosperous than ever before, is in crisis. From predatory technologies reshaping the very landscape of our societies to the very real potential that we may be the hands that craft the implements of our own demise, it is essential that we order our values such that our sprint towards the technological and cultural unknown does not lead us into apocalypse, absolute depravity, or inhumanity. This book has one aim: facilitating the choice to become a Sober Altruist; to become one who stands vigil over our future, our prosperity, and our humanity.
