Thanks for sharing this (though as a result I spent another hour falling down another longtermism criticism rabbit hole … ). It’s relieving (and saddening) to see that there is a certain degree of commonality with my themes as I honestly did not know how generalizable they would be: many of these comments carry such a similar tone & concern to the ones I found underneath the podcast.
“Plus its name is a fraud. As if it was actually about the long-term, they would’ve taken the effort to actually curb the climate crisises going on, in order to make sure we’re not underwater or dying of thirst.”
Yes it’s saddening. I also saw that the person being quoted (Paris Marx) interviewed Phil Torres, which I find concerning because I’m sure it’s full of misinformation. Not sure what we should do about that. Maybe not driving any attention is the best approach at this point
