The Life of a Young Cosmist

What is Cosmism, and what does it mean to live as a Cosmist? If members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe humanity will be resurrected into heavenly glory, what role should they expect to play in that, and how should those beliefs influence the decisions they make today?

In The Life of a Young Cosmist, Hyrum Wolf explores what it means to put the philosophy of Cosmism into practice in his own life as a Latter-day Saint. Drawing on Nikolai Fyodorov's concept of the Common Task, the talk considers how a commitment to overcoming death and advancing humanity can shape our careers, relationships, communities, and everyday lives. Rather than focusing on Cosmism in an academic sense, this talk takes a more personal approach: What does everyday belief in the Common Task look like for a member of the Church, and should you become a Cosmist?
