Thanks, Simon, I prefer short post like that more than long philosophical texts. I read until now 2 articles about long-termism and I like your argumentation. Until now, I wasn’t convinced so much to care about people in the far future, but I think thanks to your text I will think more about this topic.
I think that there is a lot of value in using powerful imagery to get important ideas across, I think your pitch captures the ideas well! I could imagine many short stories or videos that talk about longtermism like this, that might be inspiring and convincing.
