JoshYou answers Is There Actually a Standard or Convincing Response to David Thorstad’s Criticisms of the Value of X-Risk Reduction and of Longtermism?

[JoshYou]

Note that Thorstad’s arguments apply more against strong longtermism, i.e. that future generations are overwhelmingly or astronomically more important than current generations, not merely that they are important or even much more important than current generations.
