I really want to learn more about broad longtermism. In 2019, Ben Todd said that in a survey EAs said that it was the most underinvested cause area by something like a factor of 5. Where can I learn more about broad longtermism, what are the best resources, organizations, and advocates on ideas and projects related to broad longtermism?
My guess is that Part II, trajectory changes will have a bunch of relevant stuff. Maybe also a bit of part 5. But unfortunately I don’t remember too clearly.

I think parts of What We Owe the Future by Will MacAskill discuss this approach a bit.
Mm good point! I seem to remember something.. do you remember what chapter/s by chance?

The 80k podcast also has some potentially relevant episodes though they’re prob not directly what you most want.
